Summary
This study tested if a single session of automated foot stimulation could temporarily improve movement, balance, and heart function in 40 people with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease. Participants received a non-invasive foot massage-like therapy, and researchers measured changes in walking speed, balance, and heart rate variability right after. The goal was to see if this simple, drug-free approach could offer short-term benefits.
