This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is testing whether a special type of treadmill training can help people with Parkinson's disease walk better and stay more stable. Half of the participants will do standard treadmill training, while the other half will do treadmill training that includes additional balance challenges (like unexpected movements or virtual reality obstacles). The researchers want to understand how this training works in the brain and whether improvements made in the lab actually help people walk better in their daily lives.
People with Parkinson's disease often have difficulty walking and are at risk of falling, which can seriously affect their quality of life. This study exists to figure out whether treadmill training—especially training that includes balance challenges—can improve walking stability and prevent falls, and to understand who benefits most from this type of exercise.

You will attend 12 training sessions on a treadmill at the University of Kiel. Depending on which group you're assigned to, you'll either do standard treadmill training or treadmill training with added balance challenges (such as unexpected perturbations or virtual reality scenarios). Researchers will measure your walking patterns, assess your brain activity, and evaluate how your walking improves both in the lab and in your everyday life. The study will help scientists understand which training approach works best for different individuals with Parkinson's disease.
