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 robotic exercise system called ZEST-E that guides people with Parkinson's disease through physical movements designed to improve strength, balance, and range of motion. The study compares two ways of doing these exercises: with a therapist or researcher present in the room, or with them monitoring you remotely while a trained caregiver stays with you. The goal is to see if remote monitoring works just as well as in-person supervision, which could help more people access exercise from home.
People with Parkinson's disease often struggle to stay active because they have trouble getting to exercise classes, finding trained therapists, or keeping up with regular workouts. This treatment could make exercise more accessible by allowing people to exercise at home with remote supervision instead of needing to travel to a clinic.

You will exercise three times a week for three weeks using the robotic ZEST-E system. Sessions will include guided movements like reaching forward, leaning, and standing up and sitting down. In the first week, you'll start with seated exercises, and if you pass a safety check, you can move to standing exercises in weeks two and three. Depending on which group you're in, either a therapist will be in the room with you, or they'll watch you on a video camera while a trained caregiver (like a family member) stays with you in person and helps with safety.
