Summary: Music and dance training can improve humans' beat perception and production abilities, especially in individuals with early-stage Parkinson's disease. Participants with over three years of music training showed more accurate beat perception, and Parkinson's disease patients with music training performed similarly to healthy adults in beat production tasks.

Summary: This study compared the effects of single side and bilateral auditory cueing on repetitive toe tapping and gait in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) and found that bilateral cueing was more effective in improving movement performance. The study also revealed a significant relationship between toe tapping and gait performance when both sides were cued. These findings contribute to the understanding of potential shared mechanisms between bradykinesia and gait impairment in PD.

Summary: The study found that applying auditory cues based on individual's phi-rhythm can improve gait patterns in people with Parkinson's disease, such as parameters like stride length, walking speed, and toe clearance. Therefore, phi-rhythm appears to be an effective cue to enhance gait in individuals with PD.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the functional and clinical effectiveness of rhythmic cueing, dance, and resistance training on motor and non-motor parameters in Parkinson's Disease patients. The results showed that these forms of exercise have positive effects on gait, stride, motor symptoms, and other outcomes, suggesting their potential as holistic exercise protocols for improving Parkinson's Disease manifestations.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of wearable visual cues provided by a wearable laser device on gait pattern and stability in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The results showed significant improvement in gait parameters and stability in PD patients under the cued condition. The use of wearable visual cues improved stride length, toe clearance, and reduced double stance phase in PD patients, making their gait pattern closer to that of healthy controls. Moreover, kinematic parameters and dynamic center of pressure also improved in PD patients with visual cues.

Summary: This study investigated the differences in characteristics of patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) who exhibit freezing of gait (FOG) and examined the effectiveness of visual cueing using laser shoes. The results showed that patients with lower self-reported FOG severity scores, higher dopamine active transporter availability in specific regions of the brain, and shorter duration of FOG episodes without cueing responded better to visual cueing. These findings have important implications for identifying patients who may benefit from visual cueing and the early diagnosis of FOG in IPD patients.

Summary: The study compared gait variability at different walking speeds between patients with Parkinson-variant multiple system atrophy, idiopathic Parkinson's disease, and a control group of older adults. Multiple system atrophy patients displayed higher gait variability in various parameters compared to controls, while Parkinson's patients did not. Variability parameters were significantly correlated with the postural instability/gait difficulty subscore in both disease groups.

Summary: The difficulty in assessing FOG and the variety of existing cues make it challenging to determine the most appropriate cueing modality and targets for personalized treatments for FOG. This systematic review aimed to determine the effectiveness of cues in reducing FOG and improving gait parameters, and whether medication state affects cue-related results.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between nutritional status and characteristics of patients with Parkinson's disease with freezing of gait (PDFOG). The results showed that PDFOG patients with malnutrition or at risk of malnutrition had longer disease duration, more motor symptoms, lower body mass index, and more non-motor symptoms. Uric acid, albumin, prealbumin, and total cholesterol levels also differed between the two groups. The study suggests that early discovery of nutritional status is important in PDFOG patients.

Summary: Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) prior to gait initiation are impaired in people with Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly in those who report Freezing of Gait (FOG). The study found that individuals with FOG+ had smaller APAs compared to healthy controls (HC) and FOG- individuals, although there were no differences between FOG+ and FOG- when considering disease severity. Visual cues had different effects on gait initiation in individuals with and without PD, but improved gait speed and stride length in all individuals.

Summary: This study presents a method for reconstructing locomotor trajectories at home using capacitive proximity sensing technology. By analyzing the spatio-temporal statistical probability of body location, the method can locate the inhabitant in the floor space and track their activities over a 24-hour period. The technique can distinguish human behavior from static objects and identify walking trajectories in confined spaces, providing valuable information on spatial and temporal behavior.

The results demonstrated that gait parameters and a pretrained statistical model can robustly differentiate participants with iRBD from HCs and patients with PD.

Summary: The ability to coordinate with others is essential for humans to achieve shared goals. This study examined how the coordination dynamics of a professional string quartet changed as they learned unfamiliar pieces together. The results showed that as the group rehearsed, their coordination evolved from information flow for mutual adaptations and corrections to synchronous musical coordination.

Summary: Emotions play a fundamental role in human interactions, triggering responses in physiological, psychological, and behavioral modalities. Negative emotions have been found to have a detrimental effect on interpersonal synchronization, leading to a decrease in time spent in synchrony. Additionally, achieving higher levels of synchronization becomes more challenging after the induction of negative emotions. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating individuals' emotions into models of interpersonal synchronization.

Summary: This study found that children with developmental coordination disorder (rDCD) have deficits in nonmotor auditory time perception, with poorer duration and rhythm perception compared to typically developing children. Electroencephalography also showed delayed brain processing in response to duration or rhythm deviants in children with rDCD. These findings provide important theoretical and clinical implications for understanding perceptual timing deficits in DCD.

Summary: This study examined the differences in postural adjustments between erect, hyperlordotic, and swayback postures when facing external perturbations. The findings suggest that adopting hyperlordotic and swayback postures alters the contributions of the active and passive subsystems of the spine in postural control, potentially reducing the spine's ability to withstand loading and shear forces.

Summary: This study investigated sex differences in lower limb dynamic joint stiffness (DJS) during walking in older adults. The results showed that ankle DJS was lower in older women, which was caused by the reduced ankle plantarflexion moment. However, knee DJS did not elucidate the cause of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in older women.

Summary: The study found that the reliability of stiffness, viscosity, and inertia of the ankle joint was good to excellent during standing. During walking, the reliability of stiffness and viscosity was also good to excellent, while that of inertia was fair to good. The minimal detectable change (MDC) ranged widely, but was higher for inertia during walking.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of footwear type, navicular drop and ankle pronation on lower limb joint stiffness during running. The results show that navicular drop and dynamic ankle pronation do not affect joint stiffness, but footwear type significantly affects joint stiffness. Conventional footwear increases ankle and hip joint stiffness while reducing knee joint stiffness, which may have implications for injury risk.

Summary: This systematic review is the first to compile evidence on the effect of the menstrual cycle on postural control. The evidence regarding the influence of the menstrual cycle on postural control is unclear. However, a trend of decreased postural control from the early follicular phase to the ovulatory phase was observed in balance tasks that eliminated or altered sensory input.
