ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the effects of a fun, video-based exercise program designed for people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see how this program can improve movement in the arms, balance, and overall quality of life for participants. The exercise uses video games that can provide a safe and engaging way to stay active, which may be more enjoyable than traditional exercise methods.
To join the study, participants should be between 50 and 80 years old and have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, with a specific type of posture issue called kyphotic posture. Unfortunately, individuals with other neurological conditions, certain movement disorders, or specific heart problems cannot participate. Those who join can expect to play interactive video games that are designed to help them improve their physical abilities while having fun. This trial is currently looking for participants, and it represents an exciting opportunity to explore new ways to support individuals living with Parkinson's disease.
