Study how choice affects learning movement in Parkinson’s
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having more control or “autonomy” helps you learn new movement tasks. It may help researchers find ways to improve physical therapy training for people with Parkinson’s.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 20 years
- You can follow task instructions (score 24 or higher on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment)
- No surgery or injury to your upper arms/hands in the past 6 months
- You do not have other nervous system (neurological) conditions besides Parkinson’s
- You do not have Parkinson’s dementia
