Remote Haptic Rehabilitation for Parkinson's Disease

Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Parkinson's Disease (PD)

In brief

Individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) often have motor difficulties that can negatively impact daily activities and their quality of life. Research has shown that to slow the progression of these symptoms, patients should partake in effective physical rehabilitation. However, effective physical rehabilitation has many barriers, including timing, cost, and other personal or system-level challenges. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the haptic remote rehabilitation system for patients with PD using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in a field environment.
