Enhancing Gait in Parkinson's Disease: The Immediate Effects of Alternative Therapeutic Interventions

Background

This study explores the immediate effects of motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) on improving gait initiation in individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Participants will engage in a single 20-minute session of non-traditional exercises designed to enhance gait initiation through MI and AO techniques. The potential findings could lead to innovative interventions that significantly improve gait parameters, offering a promising alternative therapy for enhancing mobility in PD patients.
