Summary
This small study tested a robotic device (BackHug) that uses 26 robotic fingers to massage the back in 16 adults with mild-to-moderate Parkinson's disease. Over two weeks, participants had four 40-minute sessions. Researchers measured changes in mobility, back pain, and sleep quality. The goal was to see if this non-invasive therapy could help with movement and comfort. Results are preliminary and need larger studies.
