Gait rehab plus mental movement practice for Parkinson’s
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether doing walking rehabilitation together with “motor imagery” (mentally practicing movements) can improve walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help by training the brain and legs to coordinate movement more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a Parkinson’s diagnosis confirmed by a standard UK Parkinson’s test
- You can walk on your own through a 10-meter (about 33-foot) hallway
- Your thinking/memory testing is in the normal range (Mini-Mental test score over 25)
- Your Parkinson’s medicines have stayed the same from at least one month before the study starts until a later check during the study
- You do not have another neurological condition besides Parkinson’s
- You can do the study instructions: no major vision or hearing problem that would affect following directions

This trial tests a “neurofeedback” training program using a special light-sensing cap (fNIRS) to help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may also do guided walking practice mentally (imagery training), and your ability to walk and balance will be measured.
This study tests a targeted motor training approach to improve walking (gait) in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be considered if your walking is affected but you can already walk steadily for 10 minutes without help.
This study tests a type of training that combines thinking tasks with movement exercises to see if it can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease.
This trial tests a walking program to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their mobility and reduce symptoms. You may join if you can walk with some difficulty and have no other conditions that affect walking.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This study uses digital tools to assess and help people with Parkinson's and other conditions that affect walking. It aims to improve how gait problems like freezing or shuffling are measured and treated.
