How people with Parkinson’s cross obstacles
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with and without Parkinson’s disease see and step over obstacles while walking. It aims to understand differences in perception and movement to help improve safety and mobility for people with Parkinson’s.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- You can walk outside on your own without using a cane, walker, or other help.
- If you have Parkinson’s disease, your diagnosis is confirmed by a doctor.
- You do not have freezing of gait (a feeling that your feet get stuck when trying to walk).
- You have good enough vision (with glasses if needed) to see outdoors safely.
- You have no memory/thinking problems that would make following directions hard, and no other medical issue (like pain or injury) that affects your walking.

This study looks at how the body responds to physical challenges in people with Parkinson's. It aims to understand why some people stay more active than others, which could help design better treatments.
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects freezing of gait (a sudden feeling of being stuck while walking). It may help researchers better understand this symptom and improve future treatments. You may be able to join if you can walk 10 meters without help and don't have a deep brain stimulator.
This study looks at how your ability to pay attention and control actions relates to how well you can adjust your walking, especially on changing surfaces. It may help explain why some people with Parkinson's have more difficulty walking in busy environments.
This study uses digital tools to assess and help people with Parkinson's and other conditions that affect walking. It aims to improve how gait problems like freezing or shuffling are measured and treated.
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 is developing digital services for people with Parkinson's disease and also includes healthy volunteers. It aims to understand movement problems like freezing of gait and festination, and uses a virtual reality system to measure these issues.
