Foot wedge and balance training for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a special shoe insert (a foot wedge) while doing balance exercises can improve balance in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help reduce the risk of falls and make daily activities easier.
