Visual and Auditory Cues Help PD Patients Walk with Confidence
For PD patients, relaxed walking may be a luxury long forgotten. However, advances in the field of neurological rehabilitation recently revealed wonders of the human mind. By interacting with the external environment, and utilizing a few tricks internally, PD patients can make great strides in retaining motor skills.
Visual and auditory cues are used in rehabilitation to help individuals diagnosed with PD improve their walking movements. Visual cues include parallel lines on the ground, used as a guide for stepping. Auditory cues like high-pitched and low-pitched notes can be executed internally to remind one when to take steps.
Do you have any visual or auditory cues that have brought you success?
