Finger tapping as a proxy for gait: similar effects on movement variability during external and self-generated cueing in people with Parkinson's disease and healthy older adults. Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Rhythmic auditory cueing has been widely studied for gait rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease (PD). Our research group previously showed that externally generated cues (i.e., music) increased gait variability measures from uncued gait, whereas self-generated cues (i.e., mental singing) did not. These different effects may be due to differences in underlying neural mechanisms that could be discerned via neuroimaging; however, movement types that can be studied with neuroimaging are limited.
