Summary

This small pilot study tests a special standing desk that gently moves, prompting people with Parkinson's to take small steps while standing. Five participants will use the desk for up to 12 sessions over 6 weeks. Researchers will measure walking speed, motor symptoms, and thinking skills to see if this simple device helps.
