Scientists test wrist taps to 'Retrain' the brain for better walking in Parkinson's

NCT ID NCT05818189

Summary

This study aims to understand how a new wrist-worn device that provides gentle, rhythmic taps (called tactile cueing) affects walking and brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will enroll 60 participants to test if these personalized cues can make walking more automatic and less mentally taxing by measuring brain activity with a special cap. The long-term goal is to learn how to improve walking problems common in Parkinson's.
