Effects of Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Leg Muscle Activity and Posture in Parkinson's Disease
This study is designed to better understand the mechanisms contributing to impaired activation of leg muscles in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to test if stimulation of a nerve at the neck can improve muscle activation, walking and balance.
Moderate Versus High Volume Light-Moderate Intensity Exercise for People With Moderate Parkinson's Disease
Veterans with mid to later stage Parkinson's disease (PD) may not be able to work out as hard as they need to, to prevent brain cell loss. Maybe they could work out longer and more frequently to make up for this during their good times and good weeks and then …
Patient Engagement Investigation of NMS Assist
Parkinson's can cause a wide range of non-motor symptoms (NMS), including pain and problems with mental health, memory and sleep. These affect the quality of life of people with Parkinson's (PwP) and their care partners (CP). If these issues are not recognised and managed quickly, they can result in escalating …
Cue2Walk, Cost-effectiveness of Automated Freezing Detection and Provision of External Cues in Comparison to Usual Care in People With Parkinson's Disease
The majority of people with Parkinson's disease incur Freezing of Gait (FoG), which is not addressed adequately by medication. Cueing is a proven strategy to overcome FoG. The Cue2Walk is a device with automated detection of FoG and provision of rhythmic cues. In this study, the (cost-)effectiveness of the Cue2Walk …
Use of Accelerometer for Quantification of Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension Symptoms
The objective of this study is to find a more objective and accurate way to assess the efficacy of the treatment for neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. For this purpose, the investigators will use an activity monitor to determine the amount of time patients spend in the upright position (standing and walking; …
Cortical Correlates of Gait in Parkinson's Disease: Impact of Medication and Cueing
The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of a novel, personalized, tactile cueing system on gait automaticity. The researchers hypothesized that step-synchronized tactile cueing will reduce prefrontal cortex activity (improve automaticity) and improve gait variability (as well as gait speed). The researchers predict that improved automaticity with …
Serum Biomarkers in Parkinson's Disease at Different Stages
Determine clinical characteristics of parkinsonian patients in various stages of disease;Measure peripheral neurodegeneration, synaptic, and inflammation biomarkers in a population of parkinsonian patients at various stages of disease.Measure vesicular neurodegeneration, synaptic and inflammation biomarkers
Effect of Visual Feedback From the SpiroGym Mobile Application
The previous pilot study showed that two weeks of intensive expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) with SpiroGym was sufficient to significantly improve voluntary peak cough flow (PCF). The improvement was quantitatively comparable to that reported in other intensive EMST studies of longer duration. To explain this rapid improvement, we considered …
A Trial to Test the Use of Dapansutrile, an Anti-inflammatory Medication, in People With Parkinson's Disease
In Parkinson's disease (PD), there is inflammation in the brain, the gut and the blood, which is thought to contribute to the development and progression of the disease. The Nod-like receptor (NLR) family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a complex of proteins which plays a critical role in …
Integrating AI in Postural Rehabilitation for Parkinson's Disease
Postural abnormalities are highly disabling complications of Parkinson's disease (PD). These include camptocormia, anterocollis, and Pisa Syndrome (PS). PS is characterized by a lateral trunk flexion (LTF) typically exceeding 10 degrees, often accompanied by axial rotation, asymmetric shoulder positioning, and poor awareness of the postural alteration. This condition worsens during …
