Home balance training for movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a home-based walking and balance training program for people with cerebellar ataxia or Parkinson's disease. The training is done at home, so you don't need to travel. The goal is to see if this simple exercise program can improve your walking and balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with either cerebellar ataxia or Parkinson's disease.
- You can walk at least 13 feet at home without using a walker or help from someone.
- You do not have other medical problems that affect your movement (like a stroke or severe arthritis).
- You do not have a serious psychiatric illness or an alcohol/drug problem.
- You are not at high risk for falls (falling less than once a week).
- If you have Parkinson's and take medicine, you can do the test when your medicine is working best.

This study looks at balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses simple tests to understand what causes trouble with standing and walking, which may help find better treatments.
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 4-week, at-home video rehabilitation program focused on balance problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. It aims to see whether this tele-rehab approach helps with walking and stability while keeping medications steady.
This study looks at how people with rare or common neurological diseases walk and keep their balance. You will be asked to do simple walking and standing tasks to help doctors understand these problems better.
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 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.
