| description | Individuals with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) benefit from Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) concerning gait impairment recovery. In PD, RAS may help eliciting rhythmic and automatized motor responses, including gait, by bypassing the deteriorated internal “clock” within basal ganglia for automatic and rhythmic motricity. We aimed at exploring the contribution of the cerebellum to this “bypass effect” in response to RAS. To this end, we examined the cerebellum-cerebral connectivity indices using conventional EEG recording to assess whether the cerebellum contributes to RAS-based post-training effects in persons with PD. Fifty PD patients were randomly assigned to an 8-week training program using Gait-Trainer3 with or without RAS. We measured the Functional Gait Assessment, the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, the Berg Balance Scale, the Tinetti Falls Efficacy Scale, the 10-meter walking test, the timed up-and-go test, and the gait quality index derived from gait analysis before and after the end of the training. A standard EEG during gait on the GT3 was also recorded and submitted to eLORETA analysis. Particularly, we focused on the time course of the gait-related activities (which were characterized using the maximum amplitude vertex across the gait cycles) within each brain region of interest. These clinical and electrophysiological measures could be used to monitor the improvement in gait performance in standard clinical settings and to develop new rehabilitation protocols focusing on a holistic functional recovery approach. |
