Virtual reality training for balance in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether using virtual reality exercises can help improve balance, reduce fall risk, and build exercise capacity in people with Parkinson's disease. It's a way to make physical therapy more engaging and might help you stay steadier and more active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 55 and 75 years old.
- A neurologist has confirmed you have Parkinson's disease.
- Your Parkinson's is at a mild to moderate stage (not advanced).
- You can understand and follow simple instructions and are willing to take part in the sessions.
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems, serious mobility-related conditions, or vision/balance issues that would make virtual reality unsafe.
