Standing up test for Parkinson's patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a simple way to measure how well people with Parkinson's can stand up from lying down. It aims to see if the test is reliable and useful for tracking movement over time.

This trial studies whether specific posture exercises can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and movement. It is designed for people who are in the early to moderate stages of the disease and do not have other major health issues.
This study tests a new way to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and standing ability through guided exercises in a lab setting. Researchers want to see if this approach can safely help reduce balance problems and fall risk.
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 study is testing a set of physical tests (called the Short Physical Performance Battery) to see if they are a good way to measure physical function in people with Parkinson's disease. By participating, you help doctors better understand how to assess mobility and balance in Parkinson's, which could improve future care.
This trial studies walking patterns and how walking is controlled in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers understand movement control and improve future therapies by comparing walking ability and patterns.
This study checks if a 6-minute pegboard and ring test is a valid way to measure arm function in people with Parkinson's. It may help find better ways to track arm movement issues.
