Abstract
We report a case of a 60-year-old patient with a 10-year history of Parkinson disease who developed a dyskinetic-dystonic gait pattern highly affecting his personal and social life. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to improve the clinical condition by adapting the pharmacologic treatment, the patient underwent gait rehabilitation based on the use of visual cueing. This approach induced a relevant improvement in the dyskinetic-dystonic gait. Our case contributes to the phenotypic description of motor fluctuations in advanced Parkinson disease and suggests an additional therapeutic option to mitigate their impact on motor performances.
