Remote Dynamic Cycling for the Customized Off-site Rehab in Parkinson's Disease

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Parkinson's Disease

In brief

This research will develop novel and accessible way to deliver effective and customized rehab to those suffering from common and devastating neurodegenerative condition called Parkinson's disease. The investigators will examine the efficacy of novel rehab technique that can be monitored and modified in real-time but over virtual interface using a remotely located device in a paradigm called dynamic cycling. This technology will benefit thousands of Veterans who need customized and cost-effective rehab but cannot travel to specialized facilities due to inevitable limitations such as pandemics or because of lack of resources, social support, frailty, or home-bound status.
