SegwayPD: The Effect of Sensory-augmented Postural Training Using Segway on Motor and Cognitive Function in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease


Sponsor

University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

Enrollment

15 participants

Start Date

Nov 8, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of postural training emphasized on the integration of multiple sensory information into motor control in individuals with PD. This project is a proof-of-concept study to assess the effectiveness of postural training using Segway, which serves a platform to provide augmented and continuous proprioceptive and visuospatial information during postural training.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether using a Segway (a two-wheeled balancing vehicle) as a balance training tool improves both balance and thinking ability in people with moderate Parkinson's disease. **You may be eligible if:** - You have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (idiopathic) at a moderate stage with balance problems (Hoehn and Yahr stage III) - You are 50–85 years old - You are on stable Parkinson's medications for at least 1 month - You can stand and walk without support for at least 5 minutes **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You have other neurological conditions besides Parkinson's - You have unstable major medical illnesses - You have conditions that would prevent safe participation, such as uncontrolled diabetes, severe vision or hearing problems, or severe arthritis Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
