Balance rehabilitation methods for Parkinson's patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests different ways to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance. If you have mild to moderate Parkinson's and are between 50 and 80 years old, you may be able to join and learn which approach works best for you.

This study compares two types of rehabilitation exercises—one focused on balance and one on doing two tasks at once—to see which helps people with Parkinson's disease more. It may help improve your balance and daily activities.
This trial tests a brain-training game designed to improve balance in people with Parkinson's disease. You may be eligible if you have mild to moderate Parkinson's, have had a fall and freezing episodes in the past year, and are not very active.
This trial tests if targeted balance exercises can improve how the solus-muscle (a key muscle in the calf) activates when starting to walk. It is for people with moderate to severe Parkinson's who can walk on their own.
This trial tests a home-based exercise platform to help people with Parkinson’s disease improve their movement and quality of life. You will use a tablet or computer at home to do guided exercises and have your progress tracked.
