Water therapy for daily living and movement in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if aquatic therapy (exercises in water) can improve walking, balance, posture, pain, and daily activities for people with Parkinson's. It aims to see if water-based exercise helps more than standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
