First seen Apr 04, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looked at whether adding a device that gently stimulates the feet (called AMPS) to regular exercise can improve movement, heart health, and quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease. Forty people with mild to moderate Parkinson's took part. Half got the real stimulation plus exercise, and the other half got a fake stimulation plus exercise. The goal was to see if the added stimulation made a difference in how well they could walk, balance, and feel day-to-day.
