Acute and Chronic Effect of Acoustic and Visual Cues on Gait Training in Parkinson’s Disease: A Randomized, Controlled Study

Table 3

Acute effects of visual cueing: comparison of gait with and without cue conditioning. Data are expressed as mean ± sd. The right column reports the values for group comparison.
