Testing a physical function assessment for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study is testing a set of physical tests (called the Short Physical Performance Battery) to see if they are a good way to measure physical function in people with Parkinson's disease. By participating, you help doctors better understand how to assess mobility and balance in Parkinson's, which could improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a neurologist.
- You can complete physical tests like standing, walking, and balance checks, with or without assistance.
- You (or a legal representative) must sign a consent form to participate.

This study tests whether physical activity (like exercise or movement) can help people with Parkinson's disease feel better and move more easily. Researchers want to understand how activity affects Parkinson's symptoms and quality of life.
This study tests whether a group exercise program designed for Parkinson's disease patients can be safely and practically run in a community setting. The program combines different types of movement and exercise to help improve function and quality of life.
This study explores how physical activity affects people with Parkinson's disease. It's open to anyone with mild to severe Parkinson's who wants to be more active.
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 simple way to measure how well people with Parkinson's can stand up from lying down. It aims to see if the test is reliable and useful for tracking movement over time.
This trial tests a remote way to assess people newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, to help monitor their condition and guide care.
