Phase 1

This study is testing a new kind of standing desk for people with Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that affects movement. The study hopes to see if standing at this desk helps people move better compared to just sitting or standing still. There are two parts to the study, but this is just the first part, called Phase 1. Participants will use the desk in 12 sessions, each lasting 4 hours. In total, there will be up to 14 sessions over 6 weeks, including tests before and after using the desk.

  • Participants will have up to 14 sessions over 6 weeks.
  • Each session lasts 4 hours.
  • Only people with Parkinson's disease who can stand or walk without help can join.
