duration. Treadmill training is a common intervention to improve gait dysfunction in individuals with PD. When walking on a treadmill, individuals with PD display increased stride length, increased cadence, and reduced gait variability compared with overground walking at the same velocity ( Bello, Sanchez

specific in relation to real-life fall risk during ambulation, there are some advantages of treadmill-based training paradigms. The treadmill is relatively portable in comparison to the complex laboratory setting of an overground walkway and can be easily translated into rehabilitation clinics. Furthermore
