Plain-Language Summary
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.
