Retraining walking in Parkinson's disease with a personalized app
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their walking pattern. If you can walk without help and are comfortable using a smartphone, this app-based approach might help you retrain your gait and potentially improve your mobility.
