Analysis of Biofeedback Effects in Parkinson’s Disease at Multiple Time-Scales

In this study we investigate the effects of motor adaptation and motor learning in persons with Parkinson’s disease during an home-based gait training program built on auditory biofeedback (BF). For this purpose, we assessed the motor response produced immediately after auditory BF messages and analysed it at multiple time-scales, within and between all training sessions. The findings indicate that motor adaptation is possible in a home-based training context for persons with PD using a wearable BF system.
