If drug therapies do not help or no longer help sufficiently, those affected can seek treatment in special clinics. Some of these specialist hospitals or neuro-rehab clinics also offer music therapy.

Depending on the target, you can work on a longer stride, a stronger arm swing or a safer gait. It is crucial for  a successful therapy to decide to the right <a href=\"http:\/\/mit-musik-geht-reha-besser.de\/en\/musik\/\">Training music<\/a>. The exercise pace is individually adjusted therapeutically. If your walking pace is slow, it will be increased. Conversely, if you have gait instability, you should choose slower paces of 95 to a maximum of 105 bpm. <a href=\"https:\/\/mit-musik-geht-reha-besser.de\/en\/musik\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"90\">Music<\/a> Find perfectly tailored playlists and downloads to enrich and improve your daily exercise routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also the case with the Beelitz musical gymnastics. It was developed by the therapists from the Beelitz-Heilst\u00e4tten Parkinson Center for self-training at home by people affected by Parkinson&#039;s disease. You can do this via the Parkinson Center <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parkinson-beelitz.de\/search-kbgp\/leistungsspektrum\/musiktherapie-27.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.parkinson-beelitz.de\/parkinson-infos\/links.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2 CDs with photo brochure<\/a> relate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Beelitz music gymnastics as home training for people with Parkinson\u2019s\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TbougNQt_pM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kxkVUIPqRYA\">English version<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An app has also been developed at the Parkinson Center Beelitz-Heilst\u00e4tten that generates musical movement feedback for gait training. This app is called <a href=\"https:\/\/curaswing.de\/en\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/de\/app\/curaswing\/id1350473198\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CuraSwing<\/a>, It is tailored to the needs of Parkinson&#039;s patients. The app enables personalized gait training with music to help users stay active every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In cases of gait blockage \u2013 the so-called <em>Freezing<\/em> Rhythmic training with a metronome often helps to regain a smoother gait. This is practiced at a significantly slower speed. Another way to overcome these blocks is so-called &quot;mental singing&quot; while walking. Here, those affected learn to concentrate on one specific song chosen for them while walking. Again, a rather slow tempo is crucial. For pronounced starting blocks, &quot;H\u00e4nschen klein,&quot; a simple but very clearly structured German children&#039;s song, is particularly suitable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By <strong>therapeutic singing<\/strong> Parkinson&#039;s patients can intensively train their voice and breathing. The voice quality and breath-voice coordination improves. This also has positive effects on speaking and therefore communication. The songs are adapted to the vocal pitch and vocal symptoms. Optimal training is then possible and useful even with Parkinson&#039;s-related hypophonia. Under <a href=\"http:\/\/mit-musik-geht-reha-besser.de\/en\/zubehoer\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"336\">equipment<\/a> you will find the LiLa songbook to print yourself, including links for therapeutic karaoke. The Karafun app is also suitable for this, as it allows you to individually adjust the tempo and pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In the <strong>dance music therapy<\/strong> Movements are playfully trained to circle, block or pair dances. In addition to the strong therapeutic effect for mobility and coordination, people suffering from Parkinson's can also regain the joy of exercise.
