Cueing training in the home improves gait-related mobility in Parkinson’s disease: the RESCUE trial
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
Attending to the task: interference effects of functional tasks on walking in Parkinson's disease and the roles of cognition, depression, fatigue, and balance.
Lynn Rochester,V. Hetherington,Diana Jones,Alice Nieuwboer,Anne Marie Willems,Gert Kwakkel,Erwin E. H. van Wegen +6 more
TL;DR: Competition for attention through additional activities, decreased executive function, depression, fatigue, and impaired balance will increase difficulty in walking for PD subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of external rhythmic cues (auditory and visual) on walking during a functional task in homes of people with Parkinson's disease.
Lynn Rochester,V. Hetherington,Diana Jones,Alice Nieuwboer,Anne Marie Willems,Gert Kwakkel,Erwin E. H. van Wegen +6 more
TL;DR: External auditory cues may be useful in reducing interference and maintaining gait performance during more complicated functional activities and clinical symptoms, such as depression and fatigue, could influence the ability to focus attention and may increase gait interference during the performance of complex tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for motor learning in Parkinson's disease: Acquisition, automaticity and retention of cued gait performance after training with external rhythmical cues
Lynn Rochester,Katherine Baker,V. Hetherington,Diana Jones,A M Willems,Gert Kwakkel,Erwin E. H. van Wegen,I. Lim,Alice Nieuwboer +8 more
TL;DR: The results support the use of ERC to enhance motor learning in PD as defined by increased acquisition, automaticity and retention and highlight the potential for sustained improvement in walking and complex task performance.
