Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine how using auditory cues of a metronome at various frequencies impacts the gait mechanics and balance in people with Parkinson's disease when walking over ground and on a treadmill. We will enroll 10 participants with a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (Stages 2 or 3). All participants will complete 18 training sessions over 6 weeks and participate in pre- and post-testing of gait and balance.

Study Arms (1)
Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will walk on treadmill to metronome set at 85% of typical cadence, followed by overground walking with metronome set at 115% of typical cadence.
Interventions
Participants will complete 6 weeks of walking training (3x/week). During each session, participants will walk on a treadmill for up to 20 minutes (stepping to a metronome at 85% of typical cadence) followed by overground walking for up to 15 minutes (stepping to a metronome at 115% of typical cadence).
