Digital help for walking problems in Parkinson's and related conditions
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (or another condition affecting walking like stroke, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, or osteoporosis).
- You can walk for at least 5 minutes, with or without a cane or walker.
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your vision is good enough to see normally with glasses or contacts, or you can move around safely with help.
- You can follow simple 2-step instructions (like 'sit down and lift your leg').

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests motion-sensor devices (small inertial measurement units) to detect moments when walking suddenly “freezes” in Parkinson’s disease. If you have freezing episodes, it may help researchers measure them more accurately and support better monitoring.
This study tests whether a 24-week community walking program (brisk walking) can help people with Parkinson's disease who have trouble walking. If you join, you will walk regularly with others in your community and have your walking ability checked before and after.
This study tests digital devices that may help track Parkinson's symptoms using eye movements and balance. It is designed for people with Parkinson's or related conditions who have trouble with walking (freezing) and can walk for at least 5 minutes.
This study measures brain activity while you walk using a noninvasive light sensor setup. Researchers want to see how Parkinson’s medication and simple “walking cues” change balance and brain signals.
This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
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.
