This study is testing a new way to program deep brain stimulators to help people with Parkinson's disease walk more steadily and reduce their risk of falling. Researchers are testing a special alternating-frequency pattern in 12 participants who already have a specific type of br…

This study is testing whether a special exercise program can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance, walking, and thinking skills. Participants will do computer-based brain training along with walking and balance exercises that mimic real-life challenges, like…

This study is testing if adding special device-based balance training to standard rehab helps older adults with chronic reduced brain blood flow. It compares two training devices against standard exercises to see which is better at improving stability, walking, and reducing fall …

This study is testing if training to walk backwards can help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) reduce their risk of falling. It will compare backward walking training to standard forward walking training in 90 participants who have MS and walking difficulties. The main goal is …

This study is testing whether daily exposure to a special flickering light and sound, called gamma sensory flicker, is safe and can help reduce 'freezing of gait' in people with Parkinson's disease. Freezing of gait is when a person's feet feel stuck to the floor, which is a majo…

This study aims to understand how nerve reflexes affect walking problems in stroke survivors with stiff-knee gait. Researchers will measure leg muscle responses to gentle electrical stimulation in 60 participants, both with and without stroke. The goal is to learn if specific ref…
