Parkinson Disease (PD) is a degenerative disease that affects motor function and sequential.
At which level of H&Y stages will this improve?
Short term or long term effect?
Any evidence to help patient and client?

Certainly yes. The metronome is definitely a helpful adjunct to therapy.

The metronome is fundamental in therapies with patients with PD. Currently, there are applications, or it can even be projected on monitors and keep track of the frequencies. With this, patients manage their therapy better and get involved in maintaining or improving their performance in sessions.

Hello, Qais Gasibat thanks for the link
what type of metronome do you prefer to use?
or what experience do you have with the configuration of their frequencies?
regards

Spinal implant helps man with advanced Parkinson’s to walk without falling
“I would fall five to six times per day,” says architect and former mayor Marc Gauthier, reflecting on his life before receiving a highly experimental implant that delivers electrical stimulation to his spinal cord. Gauthier has advanced Parkinson’s disease, and the technology enables him to walk fluidly — something no other therapy can do. Researchers say larger studies are needed to assess whether the device will work for others with the disease...

Metronome Therapy shows promise in improving gait and walking in Parkinson’s Disease, backed by evidence-based medicine. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in enhancing gait velocity, stride length, and reducing gait variability in Parkinson’s patients. The rhythmic auditory cue provided by the metronome helps to regulate movement timing and coordination, mitigating the motor deficits characteristic of the disease. While further research is warranted to fully elucidate its long-term benefits and optimal implementation, Metronome Therapy stands as a valuable adjunctive intervention in the management of gait disturbances in Parkinson’s Disease.
