Hip Muscle Strength Study in Parkinson's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares how hip muscles work in people with and without Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure your hip muscle strength and control to better understand how Parkinson's affects movement and balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 20–85 years old
- Able to walk at least 10 meters on your own without help
- Able to understand and follow study instructions
- Generally healthy, with no uncontrolled heart disease
- No current pain in your legs or hips
- If you have Parkinson's, it must be early-to-moderate stage (Hoehn and Yahr stages 1–3) and your medications must be stable

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a wearable robotic exoskeleton (a powered leg device) can help people with Parkinson's disease and older adults walk better and stay active. Researchers want to see if this technology improves mobility and reduces fall risk.
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking and walking in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help understand the connections between these functions.
This study looks at muscle tightness (hypertonia) in people with spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and healthy volunteers. It aims to better understand and measure different types of stiffness to improve treatments.
This trial tests whether a strength training program can improve function and body chemistry in people with Parkinson's. It may help if you are in the middle stages of the disease and have stable motor symptoms.
This study looks at how arm and hand function relates to balance and mobility in people with Parkinson's disease. Understanding this link may lead to better therapy approaches.
This study tests a circuit training program that combines strength and endurance exercises to see if it helps people with Parkinson's disease improve their movement and daily function.
