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.

This trial compares two therapies for people with Parkinson's disease: virtual reality exercises and a type of physical therapy called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. It aims to see which one helps improve movement and balance more.
This study tests whether playing virtual reality games can improve balance, reduce fall risk, and boost exercise ability in people with Parkinson's disease. You will attend therapy sessions that use a VR headset designed to help with movement.
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.
This study tests whether a virtual reality training program called 'Virtual Park' can help motivate people with certain neurological conditions (like Parkinson's disease, MS, or stroke recovery) to exercise. The goal is to see if exercising in a virtual environment makes training more engaging and effective.
This trial tests if watching personalized 3D videos of movements can help improve walking and other skills in people with Parkinson's. It involves using a special viewer to watch actions that match your own needs.
This study tests whether using virtual reality—either alone or with others—can help improve movement and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. You would participate in rehabilitation sessions using VR technology while your symptoms and mobility are monitored.
