Plain-Language Summary
The goal is to see whether adding computer-based cognitive training to conventional rehab can improve balance, walking and thinking in people with Parkinson's who have mild cognitive problems and early balance or gait trouble. Participants use REHACOM, a program of targeted attention, memory and executive-function exercises on a computer together with a tailored physical therapy program that practices posture and locomotion; this is a non-drug add-on that does not change levodopa itself but aims to strengthen cognitive control of movement so medication and rehab may work better together. The trial is looking for medically and psychologically stable people aged about 58 to 70, with 2 to 5 years of Parkinson's, mild to moderate motor disability (Hoehn and Yahr 2.5 to 3, UPDRS III), PD-CRS scores consistent with mild cognitive impairment, and mild balance or gait impairments; people with atypical parkinsonism, major sensory or psychiatric problems, certain cognitive drugs, or who are illiterate are excluded.
