Immersive Virtual Reality to Improve Gait in Parkinson's Disease

NCT03727529 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 46

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients suffer from gait impairments responsible for falls and bad quality of life: reduced speed and stride length, randomness in stride duration variability (reduced Long-Range Autocorrelations (LRA)). On the other hand, treadmill walking has shown long-term effectiveness on PD patients' gait and quality of life. The purpose of this single blinded randomized controlled trial is to study the effect of a combination of immersive virtual reality and treadmill walking on LRA.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease
  • Gait Disorders, Neurologic

Interventions

OTHER

Treadmill + VR

Patients will walk on the tredmill with the virtual reality headset. Patients will walk in a straight line in a coherent, immersive and simple virtual environment. Before the first session, a 15-minute session will focus on patient familiarization with iVR

OTHER

Treadmill

Patients will walk on the treadmill without iVR. Patients will also receive a short familiarization to the treadmill before strating the experimentation.
