Summary
This trial will study if remote monitoring and treatment of balance issues in people with Parkinson's can be effective. #medicine #Parkinsons
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 55-85 with Parkinson's disease who can follow directions and participate in exercise. They should be responsive to levodopa, at stages I-III of the disease, and able to commit to a rehab program 3 times a week for 4 weeks without changing medications or other exercises.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of Balance Tele-Rehabilitation Agility Boot Camp (ABC) delivered remotely for improving balance in Parkinson's patients. It aims to assess if this method is feasible as a treatment option.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves physical exercise, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and an increased risk of falls during activities. However, specific side effects will depend on individual health conditions.
