Summary
This study explores whether mentally practicing a hand dexterity test can immediately improve actual performance in people with Parkinson's disease. Thirty participants will time themselves both physically and mentally performing the Nine-Hole Peg Test. The goal is to see if motor imagery—a technique already used in stroke and spinal cord rehab—can help overcome movement planning difficulties in Parkinson's.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to help people with Parkinson's improve hand coordination and daily tasks.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 30 participants, looking at immediate effects only. The main test used is not yet proven reliable for this purpose, so results may not be meaningful or lasting.
