The figure consists of three panels: (A) A flow chart summarizing participant numbers throughout the study, detailing reasons for exclusion at each stage, with 25 participants ultimately completing between 13 and 20 sessions. (B) A timeline illustrating the protocol, with 20 sessions distributed over a 4-week period. Two key evaluation points are marked: one at the beginning and one at the end of the study. (C) A detailed view of one session, showing the theoretical progression of rhythm for music (green line) and gait (black line). The session begins with an uncued phase, followed by a cued phase in which rhythmic stimulation aims to achieve a +10% cadence increase.
