Music stimulates muscles, mind, and feelings in one go

摘要

Gait and gait related mobility are among the most important factors for the quality of life of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD). In most patients gait and gait related mobility will first lead to patients having to undergo physiotherapy. For gait training in PD there are a variety of evidence-based and well-established therapies. Among such therapies are Nordic walking, treadmill training, dancing, and amplitude training. All of these have proven to be effective in randomized controlled studies (Tomlinson et al., 2013).
