Learning walking movements in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson's learn and transfer walking movements from one task to another. You will walk on a special treadmill to help researchers understand how your brain adapts, which could lead to better rehab strategies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (idiopathic type).
- You do not experience freezing of gait (when your feet feel stuck to the floor).
- You can walk on your own for 30 minutes without a cane or walker.
- You do not have any other brain or nerve condition (like a stroke or Alzheimer's).
- You have not used a split-belt treadmill before, and you do not have a deep brain stimulator.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can improve walking, especially starting to walk, in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses magnetic pulses over a brain area that controls movement.
This trial tests if a type of brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation) applied to different areas of the brain can improve walking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see which stimulation site works best for reducing freezing of gait and improving daily mobility.
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS) to see if it can improve walking and balance in people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. It may be a good option if you are on stable medication and able to walk on your own.
This trial tests if a special type of brain stimulation (called TMS) can help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—when your feet feel stuck to the floor. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve walking and reduce those freezing episodes.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This study tests motion-sensor devices (small inertial measurement units) to detect moments when walking suddenly “freezes” in Parkinson’s disease. If you have freezing episodes, it may help researchers measure them more accurately and support better monitoring.
