Phase N/A

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a condition that affects movement, especially in older adults. It causes problems like trouble with balance and walking. This study is exploring new ways to help people with PD by using robots. Robots can help people practice specific movements more often and with more intensity. This can potentially improve walking and help prevent falls. The study includes 195 patients, divided into three groups. Some will get regular therapy, while others will use robotic devices like the Tymo system and Walker View along with therapy. The study lasts for 5 weeks, with 10 sessions in total, and follow-ups at different times to check progress.

  • The study lasts for 5 weeks with 10 sessions, and follow-ups are planned for up to 2 years.
  • Participants will either receive traditional therapy or a mix of traditional and robotic therapy.
  • There are specific criteria for joining, like having stable medication and not participating in other studies.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
