Conditions

Parkinson's Disease

Brief summary

Voltage fluctuation as a result of brain activity will be recorded into the computer using an EEG device.

Detailed description

Patients with Parkinson's disease may have gait disturbances including freezing of gait. Visual and auditory stimuli may improve gait. Investigators will analyze brain wave during walking while giving the subject different stimuli. The voltage fluctuation (in hundreds of microvolts) will be recorded using the EEG cap and amplifier into a computer.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALBaseline

Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves

BEHAVIORALvisual stimuli

Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves while seeing a grid through glasses

BEHAVIORALAuditory stimuli

Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves while hearing an auditory stimuli

BEHAVIORALVisual and auditory stimuli

Patients will walk naturally with EEG measuring brain waves while seeing a grid through glasses and hearing an auditory stimuli simultaneously
