## Abstract Rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) was used as a pacemaker during a 3‐week home‐based gaittraining program for Parkinson's disease (PD) patients (n = 15). Electromyogram (EMG) patterns and stride parameters were assessed before and after the test without RAS to evaluate changes in gait

## Abstract The effects of subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) on fall risk in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) currently remain unclear. Although several gait parameters, such as gait speed, have shown improvement with DBS, some studies have reported an increased fall risk
## Abstract Bilateral high‐frequency stimulation of the internal globus pallidus (GPi) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) both alleviate akinesia, rigidity, and tremor in idiopathic Parkinson's disease. To test the specific effect of these procedures on gait, we used quantitative gait analysis in ad
Patients in the early stages of Parkinson's disease have been shown to walk slower with smaller steps, resembling the gait of normal elderly subjects, but specific disorders of dynamic equilibrium or rhythmic gait patterning have not yet been identified. In the present study, gait control in 22 heal
