Walking with music is a safe and viable tool for gait training in Parkinson's disease: the effect of a 13-week feasibility study on single and dual task walking.

Time-by-Task interactions approaching significance were observed for velocity ( F [10] = 3.756, P = .081, ES = .273; SINGLE = 2.34% increase; DUAL = 6.68% increase; Figure 3(a) ), stride time ( F [10] = 4.417, P = .062, ES = .306; SINGLE = 1.42% decrease; DUAL = 6.86% decrease; Figure 3(b) ), and cadence ( F [10] = 4.654, P = .056, ES = .318; SINGLE = 1.74% increase; DUAL = 6.86% increase; Figure 3(d) ) suggesting that the intervention had a differential effect on the magnitude of improvements to single and dual task gait performance amongst the MUSIC group.

Following the 13-week intervention, the MUSIC group demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in UPDRS (III) score ( t [10] = 4.045, P = .002; 5.6 point reduction); the CTRL group also experienced a decrease in UPDRS score; however, the improvement for the CTRL group failed to reach significance ( t [10] = 1.128, P = .286; 1.8 point reduction). 3.3.
