In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Parkinson's disease (PD) affects over 10 million worldwide, causing unstable gait and falls in 70% of patients despite medication. This leads to confidence loss, isolation, fractures, and hospitalizations. Treadmill training, augmented by mechanical/virtual-reality triggers, has proven effective in enhancing gait and reducing falls. However, underlying treadmill training mechanisms are unclear. To personalize training, we'll explore how PD patients benefit and transfer effects to daily life. This trial is part of three parallel randomized controlled trials within the Steps Against the Burden of Parkinson's Disease (CT-IDs: 6ef2e427b002, 6ef2e427b003, 6ef2e427b004) project, which will perform a pooled analysis across all sites in addition to individual RCT analyses. Each trial adheres to a shared core protocol while allowing for adaptations in the perturbation protocol, ensuring that dat
