Parkinson's study: does body sway affect hand dexterity?
NCT ID NCT07182487
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 80 people with Parkinson's to see if there is a link between how much their trunk sways and how well they can use their hands. Researchers used a motion sensor to measure trunk sway and a pegboard test to measure hand dexterity. The goal is to understand if better trunk control might help with fine hand movements.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the link is confirmed, it could help design better physical therapy that targets trunk stability to improve hand function in Parkinson's.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures relationships, so it cannot prove that improving trunk sway will improve hand skills.
