Read our Parkinson Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand how Parkinson's disease changes the way your brain controls walking, and whether a new type of touch-based cueing system can help. The study will measure your brain activity using special sensors while you walk, both with and without medication, and compare two types of vibrating feedback cues delivered to your skin.
People with Parkinson's disease often find that walking requires more conscious effort and attention than it should, which can make walking less stable and more exhausting. This trial is exploring whether personalized touch cues can help your brain return to more automatic, natural walking patterns.

You will visit the research facility to wear a special cap with sensors that measure brain activity while you walk. Researchers will test you under different conditions: with and without your Parkinson's medication, and while receiving two different types of vibrating touch feedback cues on your skin—one that adapts to your walking pattern, and one that gives steady, fixed-rhythm cues. The study involves wearing motion sensors and completing walking tasks while your brain activity is monitored.
