About This Parkinson's Disease (PD) Study in Salt Lake City

The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of a 3-month personalized community-based walking program called MyMusiQ. The study uses music cues delivered through a digital device in people with Parkinson disease (PD). The investigators want to know if personalized music cueing through the digital device can improve walking quality, walking ability, daily walking amount and intensity, and quality of life, while helping walking feel more automatic and require less mental effort. Participants will take part in this research study for approximately 18 weeks in total. During this time, participants will complete 4 study visits at designated research centers at Boston University, Washington University in St. Louis, or the University of Utah, depending on the site of enrollment.
