Driving Simulator Training for Parkinson's Disease
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if low-fidelity driving simulator training works to improve cognitive performance, driving behavior, and driving aptitude in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does low-fidelity driving simulator training improve cognitive performance?
* Does low-fidelity driving simulator training improve driving performance?
* Does low-fidelity driving simulator training improve driving aptitude?
Researchers will compare driving simulator training to no-training (waitlist control group) to see if the low-fidelity driving simulator is effective in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
Participants will:
* Undergo 10 sessions of driving simulator training or be placed in the no-training group.
* Training group participants will visit the driving simulator lab 2-3 times a week for 4 weeks for training.
* Paper-based tests and driving simulator tests will be done before and after 10 sessions of training (or a waiting period).
