AR Stimulation Effects on Gait, Anxiety, and Brain Connectivity in Parkinson's Disease

Investigate the Effect of AR Environment Stimulation on Gait, Anxiety and Brain Connectivity of Individuals With Parkinson Disease

Sponsor

Chang Gung University

Enrollment

90 participants

Start Date

Jan 18, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Summary

A project aims at addressing gait impairments and non-motor symptoms such as anxiety and stress in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients through a novel approach involving heart rate variability (HRV) feedback and Augmented Reality (AR) training. The project is based on the premise that improving HRV, which reflects the adaptability of the autonomic nervous system, can enhance both motor functions like gait and non-motor symptoms.

Eligibility

Min Age: 20 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether augmented reality (AR) stimulation during walking can improve gait (how you walk), reduce anxiety, and improve brain connectivity in people with Parkinson's disease. **You may be eligible if...** - You have a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (for the patient group) - You are able to walk safely - You may also qualify as a healthy volunteer comparison participant **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a musculoskeletal injury in your legs - You have osteoporosis - You have any other nervous system injury or disease (in addition to Parkinson's, for the patient group) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
