Summary

This study tested whether training with rhythmic sounds (like a beat) could help people with Parkinson's disease move their arms better. 38 participants did arm exercises with or without the sounds for 21 days. Those who used rhythmic sounds showed lasting improvements in hand dexterity and movement speed one month later.
