Wearable sensors to predict falls in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses small wearable sensors to measure how you walk and move. The goal is to better track Parkinson's symptoms and predict falls, so your care can be more personalized.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a Parkinson's diagnosis from a specialist.
- Your Parkinson's must be in early or mid-stage (Hoehn & Yahr I to III).
- You can walk and stand on your own for at least 2 minutes.
- You must be able to travel to Northumbria University in Newcastle for the study visits.
- You should not have other serious brain or nerve conditions (like stroke or Alzheimer's).
- You must have no leg or foot injury in the past 6 weeks.

This study tests a wearable system (DANU Sports) that measures how you walk and keep your balance. It aims to see if the system can help people with Parkinson's disease track their movement problems.
This trial tests if using a wearable sensor can help doctors better adjust Parkinson's medications to reduce motor fluctuations (times when symptoms are not well controlled). It is for people with Parkinson's who have been on levodopa for at least 4 years and experience ups and downs in their movement control.
This study tests a robotic suit designed to help prevent freezing of gait (a sudden feeling of being stuck) in people with Parkinson's disease. You'll attend 8 visits to see if the suit can improve your walking and reduce falls.
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 a wearable sensor to track how well people move over a year. It may help researchers understand mobility and how different movement conditions affect walking and daily function.
This study tests a wearable sensor that tracks tremor and other health details. It could help doctors better understand and manage movement symptoms for people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor.
