Plain-Language Summary
Aiming to make walking and balance steadier in people with Parkinson's, this trial tests whether using personalized music beats can improve step timing, stride regularity, and overall gait control. Participants receive conventional physical therapy with Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation, where music with a tailored steady beat cues each step to engage auditory‑motor pathways and entrain movement timing, a non-drug approach that can complement existing medications. The study is enrolling adults 45 to 55 years old with a clinical Parkinson's diagnosis per Queen Square Brain Bank, MMSE over 23, mild balance impairment (BBS 21,40), and no serious medical, sensory, musculoskeletal, or recent neurologic music therapy history.
