Frequently Asked Questions
What are the major goals of this clinical experiment?
"The primary target of this trial, to be measured within the first week of training, is a change in initial step length from baseline. The secondary objectives include alterations in mediolateral anticipatory postural adjustment (APA) size and speed between baseline and end of the first block of training as measured by center-of-pressure displacement towards stepping limb until toe off and division of initial step length by time taken for it respectively."
Is this investigation encompassing individuals past the age of fifty?
"Patient recruitment is open to individuals aged between 35 and 99 years old."
Who meets the eligibility criteria to participate in this trial?
"This trial is accepting 10 individuals with idiopathic Parkinson's and ages ranging from 35 to 99. To be considered, candidates must display two of the three cardinal signs (resting tremor, bradykinesia or rigidity), have a mild-moderate degree of gait/balance impairment as indicated by MDS Unified Parkinson disease Rating Scale items 10 and 12 respectively, report difficulty in freezing of gait as found on the Freezing of Gait Questionnaire question 3, and demonstrate an ability to walk for upwards 5 minutes at over 80% their comfortable gait speed both on a treadmill and without assistance while moving outside."
Are there any vacancies available for enrolment in this research?
"This particular medical trial, which was first published on November 1st 2022 and last updated 15 days later, is not presently enrolling patients. Despite this, there are 489 other trials actively seeking participants at the present moment."
