Virtual reality vs. Otago exercises for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing virtual reality exercises or the Otago exercise program (a set of balance and strength moves) can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and walking. It may be a good option if you are comfortable with light exercise and technology.
