Parkinson's study probes hidden links between arm function and body sense
NCT ID NCT07639463
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects arm and hand skills, trunk control, and body awareness. Researchers will compare 118 people with Parkinson's (ages 50-80) to healthy adults using tests like pegboard, grip strength, and reaction time. The goal is to understand these connections better and help design more effective rehabilitation programs.
