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.
This trial is testing a new approach called action observation training, delivered through immersive virtual reality headsets, to help people with Parkinson's disease move faster and more smoothly. The study compares two approaches: one where you watch 3D recordings of your own movements, and another where you watch recordings of healthy people performing the same movements. The goal is to see if observing rhythmic movements can help reduce the slowness of movement (called bradykinesia) that is common in Parkinson's disease.
People with Parkinson's disease often experience slowness in movement, which can significantly impact daily life. Recent research suggests that simply watching fast, rhythmic movements may help the brain improve its own movement speed, and using immersive virtual reality may make this training even more effective than watching videos on a regular screen.

If you join this study, you will be assigned to one of two groups. Both groups will wear an immersive virtual reality headset and watch recordings of fast, rhythmic movements—either your own movements that were recorded and converted to 3D, or movements performed by healthy volunteers. You will participate in action observation training sessions where you watch these movements with the goal of improving your own movement speed and smoothness. The study will involve approximately 24 participants total, and you would be evaluated before and after the training to measure any changes in your movement abilities.
