Sing For Your Saunter Part 2 R33

Sing for Your Saunter: Using Self-Generated Rhythmic Cues to Enhance Gait in Parkinson's

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Apr 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare to rhythm-based walking interventions to enhance gait in people with Parkinson's disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does rhythm-based training influence walking performance? * How does brain activity change following rhythm-based training? Participants will perform walking to music and walking while singing, and will train on the use of these rhythms for 12 weeks. The investigators will compare the effects of training with music to training with singing.
