This study shows a positive effect of "fixed" rhythmic sES on the time taken to complete a walking task and on the number of FoG episodes occurring during the task. Our results provide evidence that sES cueing delivered in a "fixed" rhythmic manner has the potential to be an effective cueing mechanism for FoG prevention.
