Targeting dopa‐sensitive and dopa‐resistant gait dysfunction in Parkinson's disease: Selective responses to internal and external cues

Independence of certain gait characteristics from dopamine replacement therapies highlights its complex pathophysiology in Parkinson's disease (PD). We explored the effect of two different cue strategies on gait characteristics in relation to their response to dopaminergic medications.
