Shoe wedge and balance training for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special shoe insert combined with balance exercises can improve balance in people with Parkinson's disease. You will be asked to stand, walk, and do simple exercises, and your progress will be measured with tests like motion analysis and muscle activity recordings.

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 a special balance training program for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if it can improve walking and reduce falls.
This trial tests if adding strategy training and PNF (a type of movement therapy) helps people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance, walking, and independence. You may be able to join if you are between 40 and 80 years old, can walk on your own or with a little help, and have mild to moderate symptoms.
This study tests special shoes that provide biofeedback (real-time cues) to help people with Parkinson's disease walk better. The goal is to see if the shoes can improve walking and other movement abilities.
