Vibration therapy may steady Parkinson's patients, new study hopes to prove

This study tests whether adding whole-body vibration (standing on a vibrating platform) to a home exercise program helps people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance, mobility, and sense of body position better than exercise alone. 68 participants aged 50-75 will be randomly assigned to either vibration plus exercise or exercise only, with assessments at 8 and 16 weeks. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach can reduce fall risk and improve daily function.
