SegwayPD: The Effect of Sensory-augmented Postural Training Using Segway on Motor and Cognitive Function in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease
Who can join
Ages 50 to 85 · All sexes
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * a clinical diagnosis of idiopathic PD with moderate disease stage presenting balance alterations (Hoehn and Yahr stage III) * being stable on medication for at least 1 month * the ability to stand and walk unsupported for 5 min both on and off medication * age between 50 and 85 Exclusion Criteria: * neurological disorders other than PD * major unstable medical illnesses * sensory or musculoskeletal disorders (e.g., diabetes, uncorrected visual problems, arthritis, severe hearing impairments) that will prohibit the ability to perform the assessment tests and receive training
About the study
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of postural training emphasized on the integration of multiple sensory information into motor control in individuals with PD. This project is a proof-of-concept study to assess the effectiveness of postural training using Segway, which serves a platform to provide augmented and continuous proprioceptive and visuospatial information during postural training.
