Alice Nieuwboer,Gert Kwakkel,Lynn Rochester,Derek K. Jones,E.E.H. van Wegen,A M Willems,F Chavret,V. Hetherington,Katherine Baker,I. Lim +9 more
TL;DR: Cueing training in the home has specific effects on gait, freezing and balance and may be a useful therapeutic adjunct to the overall management of gait disturbance in Parkinson’s disease.
Journal Article
Cueing training in the home improves gait-related mobility in Parkinson's disease : the RESCUE trial. Commentary
Mark A. Hirsch,F. M. Hommond,Alice Nieuwboer,G. Kwakkel,Lynn Rochester,Derek K. Jones,E.E.H. van Wegen,A M Willems,F Chavret,V. Hetherington,Katherine Baker,I. Lim +11 more
TL;DR: The Rehabilitation in Parkinson's Disease: Strategies for Cueing (RESCUE) trial investigated the effects of a home physiotherapy program based on rhythmical cueing on gait and gaitrelated activity as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of external rhythmical cueing on gait in patients with Parkinson's disease: a systematic review
I. Lim,E.E.H. van Wegen,C. de Goede,Marije Deutekom,Alice Nieuwboer,An Willems,Diana Jones,Lynn Rochester,Gert Kwakkel +8 more
TL;DR: Only one high-quality study is suggested, suggesting that the walking speed of patients with Parkinson's disease can be positively influenced, however, it is unclear whether positive effects identified in the laboratory can be generalized to improved activities of daily living (ADLs) and reduced frequency of falls in the community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rehabilitation, exercise therapy and music in patients with Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis of the effects of music-based movement therapy on walking ability, balance and quality of life
TL;DR: Overall, MbM-therapy appears promising for the improvement of gait and gait-related activities in PD, and future studies should incorporate larger groups and focus on long-term compliance and follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of physical therapy for Parkinson's disease: A critical review of the literature
TL;DR: The decline in treatment effects after an intervention has ended suggests the need for permanent treatment of patients with PD, and suggests that future programmes should train meaningful tasks preferably in patients' home environment.
