Abstract

Objective: Determine the effects of treadmill training combined with visual cues on gait velocity and stride length in individuals with idiopathic Parkinson???s disease compared to treadmill training alone.Methods: Studies analyzing treadmill training combined with visual cues compared to treadmill training alone were investigated. These studies contained similar participants, outcome measures, and follow-up periods. Studies were analyzed to determine the treatment effect and homogeneity among studies.Results: Treadmill training combined with visual cues did not demonstrate a statistical difference in gait velocity and stride length compared to treadmill training alone.Conclusion: Continued research regarding the use of visual cues in a functional task-based environment and the effect on gait performance with greater patient stratification is needed to further understand the role of visual cues in gait intervention for this population. However, a comprehensive program designed around the individual based on disease severity and functional limitation in a functional task-based environment can be recommended.Study Design: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials examining the effect of visual cues combined with treadmill training in individuals with Parkinson???s disease to improve gait velocity and stride length.Advisors/Committee Members: Rivera, Monica (advisor), Trueblood, Peggy (committeeMember).
