No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study determines whether standard medical care (dopamine) affects learning and retention of a postural stepping task in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and whether training on a postural stepping task generalises to performance on an untrained postural task. Half the participants will train on the stepping task after they have taken their first dose of dopamine for the day (i.e. "on" medication state) while the other half will train on the same stepping task before taking their first daily dose of dopamine (i.e. "off" medication state).

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Stepping training

Participants will step rapidly to one of four cued targets. Each trial will consist of 24 steps. Participants will perform 6 blocks of 6 trials per day for 3 consecutive days.
