Brain Activity, Cognitive Function, and Walking Ability in Parkinson's Disease

Brain Activity, Cognitive Function, and Walking Ability in People With Parkinson's Disease

Enrollment

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The dual-task automated walking performance in people with Parkinson\'s disease (PD) is affected by their gait disturbances and impaired executive functions. Currently, the relationship between brain activity related to inhibitory control, executive functions, and dual-task walking performance in people with PD is not well understood. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the significance of different executive function domains on gait stability in healthy older adults and people with PD; whether brain activation related to inhibitory control is associated with gait stability in healthy older adults and people with PD.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is examining how brain activity, thinking skills, and walking ability are connected in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses brain imaging and physical assessments — no new treatments are involved. The goal is to better understand what drives walking difficulties in Parkinson's. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease - You have been on stable Parkinson's medication for at least 2 weeks - You can walk 10 meters without a walking aid - You scored at least 24 on the Mini-Mental State Exam - You do not have uncorrected vision or hearing problems - You completed at least junior high school education **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have another neurological, bone/joint, or heart/lung condition - You have had brain surgery such as deep brain stimulation Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This is a simplified summary. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
