Balance and dual-task training for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of rehabilitation exercises—one focused on balance and one on doing two tasks at once—to see which helps people with Parkinson's disease more. It may help improve your balance and daily activities.

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 tests whether a remote therapy program that combines physical exercises with a thinking task can help people with Parkinson's walk better and think more clearly. It's done from home using a smartphone or computer.
This study looks at whether different types of instructions (like focusing on your movements) can help improve balance for people with Parkinson's. It might help you move better and feel more steady.
This trial tests if targeted balance exercises can improve how the solus-muscle (a key muscle in the calf) activates when starting to walk. It is for people with moderate to severe Parkinson's who can walk on their own.
This study compares two types of balance exercises for people with Parkinson's: one uses virtual reality, the other uses dual-task training (doing two things at once). It aims to see which helps balance and thinking skills more.
