    Bars represent percentage change of the PD group in (A) walking speed, (B) step amplitude, and (C) step frequency in each cued condition and baseline 2 compared with baseline (B1; noncued gait). Lighter bars represent single task, darker bars represent dual task. Abbreviations: ATT, attentional cues; AUD, rhythmical auditory cues; AUD+ATT, combination cues; B2, final noncued trial. *Significant changes compared with baseline (B1) in the PD group; †significant differences between cue types.
