Balance training for Parkinson's: virtual reality vs dual-task
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares two balance-training programs for people with Parkinson's: one using virtual reality and one using dual-task (doing two things at once). It aims to see which approach better improves balance and daily function.
