First seen Jan 25, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looks at whether stimulating a specific brain area (the posterior parietal cortex) can help people with Parkinson's disease transfer walking skills learned on a treadmill to walking on the ground. 24 participants will receive either real or fake brain stimulation to compare effects. The goal is to understand the brain's role in movement, not to provide a treatment.
