Proof of Concept BeatPark

Physical activity has demonstrated its beneficial effect on functional capabilities and quality of life in patients with PD. However, the daily physical activity remains limited in these patients. Rhythmic auditory cueing improves spatio-temporal gait parameters in patients with PD. The first results of BeatHealth studies have allowed us to identify the best musical stimulation to improve these parameters and the motivation of the patients. The originality of this study is to propose a gait auto-rehabilitation program using BeatHealth device with optimal auditory cueing during four weeks in ecological conditions in PD. Observance (utilization's time), safety (falls, pain, fatigability) and efficacy (gait parameters, balance, quality of life) will be evaluated.
