Telerehabilitation dual-task training for improving balance and gait in Parkinson's patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical study evaluates the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based dual-task training to enhance balance and gait function in individuals with Parkinson's Disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to three groups, each receiving different dual-task exercise programs that combine cognitive and motor activities. The study aims to determine the optimal content of these programs for maximum rehabilitation benefits. By leveraging telerehabilitation, the study seeks to provide accessible exercise options for patients managing their symptoms remotely.
