Phase N/A
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

Study Purpose: The study explores how brain activity and thinking skills (called cognitive functions) affect walking in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Researchers want to understand how these factors influence walking ability while doing two tasks at once, known as dual-task walking.

Eligibility: To join, you need to have PD, be on stable medication, and be able to walk 10 meters without help. You should also score 24 or above on the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE)

  • **Study Length:** Not specified.
  • **Visits Needed:** Participants may need to visit a research center for tests.
  • **Potential Risks:** No specific risks are mentioned, but consider discussing with your doctor.

This study could help scientists understand how brain functions relate to walking in people with PD, possibly leading to better treatments in the future.
