Watching and imagining movements to help Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether watching guided movement videos and then imagining those movements can improve walking and movement in people with Parkinson's. It may help if you are in early to moderate stages and don't have serious thinking or health problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
