Description
Chernkhuan Stonsaovapak and colleagues wrote a 2026 review with network analysis on sensory cues for walking in Parkinson disease. Parkinson disease slows gait and shortens steps. External cues, such as lights, sounds, or touch pulses, can steady walking, but which type works best was unclear.
The team pooled thirty-three trials with more than eleven hundred patients. Touch-based and visual cues each raised walking speed versus control care. Visual, touch-based, and sound cues each lengthened stride. Rankings put touch cues first for speed and visual cues first for stride length. Both beat sound cues alone. The ranking gives clinics a clear order for choosing cue types.
