Combining Aerobic Exercise and Virtual Reality for Cognitive-motor Rehabilitation in PD

NCT05385497 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2025-10-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This project will provide preliminary data on the feasibility and effects of exercise and VR on motor behavior and neuroplasticity in PD. Results from this work will provide insight into whether combination interventions utilizing AE and VR have parallel effects on cognition, gait, and neuroplasticity in PD.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Aerobic Exercise

Participants will perform a 30-minute exercise protocol (5 minutes warm-up and cool-down each and 20 minutes moderate intensity exercise) on a StepOne™ recumbent stepper

DEVICE

Virtual Reality

Participants will interact with the virtual environment and view the gaming environment on a flat-screen TV placed in front of them at a suitable distance. The participants will play four games (50 repetitions/game divided into three blocks with 1-2 minutes rest between blocks), with the order of the games randomized in every session.
