Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Motor Function and Fatigue in PD
The investigators hypothesize that multi-session anodal tDCS (atDCS) of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (LDLPFC) will induce long-lasting effects in improving motor function and reducing motor fatigue and fatigability in PD patients.
Action Regulation Behavioral
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder involving a part of the brain that is responsible for motor control, which not only results in changes or disruptions in movement, but also cognitive dysfunctions. Given that the decline of muscle control such as tremors, with difficulty walking or the ability to …
Effects of Home-based High-speed Bodyweight Resistance Training in Individual with Parkinson's Disease
Exercises that involve increasing the speed of movements are beneficial for individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) and have the potential to reduce bradykinesia and improve mobility. High-speed bodyweight resistance training is a treatment that involves increasing speed considered accessible and viable as it can be performed at any time and …
TURN-IT FOG: Improving Turning and Freezing of Gait in People With PD
The goals of this clinical trial are to 1) learn how two different rehabilitation interventions for PD can reduce Freezing of Gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease, as assessed by patients, clinicians, and wearable sensors, and 2) to explore whether two different rehabilitation intervention can reduce FOG and improve …
Hand Rehab Using AMADEO in PD Patients
Hand movements are particularly impaired in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients contributing to functional disability and difficulties in activities of daily living. AMADEO®. is an end-effector system enables intensive training with frequently repeated gripping movements. It offers the possibility to select from between passive, assistive and active modes using exercise of …
Step Up to PD: A Community-based Walking Program for People With Parkinson's Disease
This study will investigate the feasibility of a 6-month community walking program for people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and their care partners in greater Saint Louis, Missouri region. The walking program will consist of weekly, organized walking groups at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Participants in the program will use Nordic …
Unlocking Movement Potential: Enhancing Parkinson's Disease Treatment With Robotic EksoSkeleton
The goal of this study is to see how well therapy with the Eksobionic Exoskeleton (Esko) works for people with Parkinson's disease (PWPD). Esko is a robotic device that provides high repetition and intensity training. The investigators will examine its impact on walking, balance, and quality of life before, during …
Feasibility and Safety of a Portable Exoskeleton to Improve Mobility in Parkinson's Disease
Physical therapy approaches for balance and walking deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD) have limited effectiveness, with mostly short-lasting benefits. An exoskeleton is a device that straps to the legs and provides a passive force to assist people to better ambulate. The goal of this study is to establish the feasibility …
Effects of an Independent Walking Program With Walking Poles in People With Parkinson Disease
Study Purpose: The purpose of the study is to compare changes in activity levels and walking in people with Parkinson disease after an 8-week independent walking program with or without using walking poles. Major parts of the Study: Before the walking program: You will wear an activity sensor on your …
BOOST-PD A Naturalistic Study on IPX-203 for Parkinson's Disease
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of IPX203 (Crexont®) - the newest extended-release levodopa formulation - on the duration and quality of good on time, using a wearable device to monitor symptoms. 'Good on time' refers to a period (minutes to hours) when a patient experiences …
