Summary For Families
The goal is to help people with Parkinson's improve walking, balance, and the ability to do a second task at the same time, like talking or carrying something, so everyday multitasking causes fewer stumbles, freezes, and balance problems. The approach uses telerehabilitation to guide dual-task exercises that pair walking with cognitive tasks or a second motor task, training the brain and body to coordinate attention and movement better; sessions are done remotely via smartphone or computer and are meant to complement your usual Parkinson's medications rather than replace them. The study is enrolling 30 people aged 30 to 75 with idiopathic Parkinson's at Hoehn and Yahr stages 1 to 3 who can walk independently, are in their "On" period, have had stable medication for at least a month, and score 21 or higher on the MoCA. People with serious vision or hearing loss, other neurological, cardiovascular, or orthopedic conditions that affect walking, less than five years of education, vascular leg problems, or no internet access are not eligible.

- Who can participate?
- Participants must be between 30 Years and 75 Years.
- Where is this trial located?
- This trial is recruiting at 1 location.
- Does it cost anything to join?
- You are never charged a fee to join a legitimate clinical trial, and the study treatment and study-specific tests are provided by the trial sponsor at no charge. In the US, routine care you would receive anyway can still be billed to you or your insurance; coverage rules differ by country, and trials in the UK and Canada usually run through public health systems. Travel, parking, and time are real costs, and some trials reimburse them while others do not. Before enrolling, ask the study coordinator to explain in writing what is and is not covered.
- How long does the trial last?
- This trial is estimated to last approximately 1 year and 3 months.
- Can I leave the trial if I change my mind?
- Yes. You can withdraw from any clinical trial at any time, for any reason, without affecting your standard medical care. Trials are voluntary by law. The team may ask if you are willing to do a brief exit visit so they can collect safety information, but you are not obligated.
- Can my spouse or care partner come with me to visits?
- In most cases yes, and it is often encouraged. Care partners can help with notes, questions, and getting home safely after a long visit. Some study assessments do need to happen one on one, but care partners are usually welcome for the rest of the appointment.
- Will I get a placebo in this trial?
- There is no placebo group. Everyone receives an active treatment; the study compares one treatment against another.
- How many visits does this trial involve?
- Exercises are performed three times a week for four weeks under the guidance of a physiotherapist via Zoom.
