First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how leg muscles work in people with Parkinson's disease when they walk forward and backward while also doing a mental task. Researchers compared 30 Parkinson's patients to healthy people of similar age. The goal was to understand why multitasking while walking increases fall risk, but no treatment or cure was tested.
