Patient condition: Off, without medication for 12 h; On, on regular medication schedule. Feedback channel: V, visual channel; A, auditory channel; VA, combined visual and auditory channels. Feedback modality: O, open-loop; C, closed-loop. Training location: C, clinic; H, home. Effect measured: OL, on-line; STR, short-term residual; LTR, long-term residual; GI, gait initiation; UPRDS, unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale; EL, education level; VCG, visual cue geometry. Typical change: percentage improvement in walking speed compared to baseline, except where corresponding to GI, UPDRS.
