[Tempo-rhythmic correction of gait in Parkinson's disease].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the method of tempo-rhythmic correction (TRC) of gait on slowing of the disease progression in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Authors have used the device to determine step-speed performance parameters, method TRC of gait, a quality of life questionnaire (PDQ-39). RESULTS: The method of TRC improved gait and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease, reduced the pharmacoeconomic cost of treatment. CONCLUSION: A neuroprotective effect of the method of TRC may take place due to increasing the interval between PD stages, more recent emergence of new symptoms.
