# Improve walking with mixed reality

**Goal (in five words):** Improve walking with mixed reality

**Official Title:** The Effectiveness of Mixed Reality as Interventional Tool for the Improvement on Quality of Life for People With Parkinson´s Disease. Randomized Control Trial

**Trial ID:** [NCT06459154](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06459154)

## Key Facts

- **Phase:** NA
- **Status:** RECRUITING
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Sponsor:** University of Nicosia
- **Target Enrollment:** 15 participants
- **Start Date:** 2023-08-20
- **Completion Date:** 2025-02-20
- **Conditions:** Parkinson Disease
- **Interventions:** Mixed Reality, Traditional Physiotherapy
- **Intervention Types:** OTHER

## Summary For Families

The goal is to see whether using mixed reality exercises can boost quality of life for people with Parkinson's, especially by improving gait, balance, and everyday movement compared with standard physiotherapy. Mixed reality overlays virtual cues on the real world to guide movements, give real-time visual and audio feedback, and make walking and balance exercises more engaging and repetitive, while the comparison arm receives traditional physiotherapy. They're looking for people who can walk independently, have normal thinking ability, and are Greek native speakers, and they exclude those with other neurological disease, uncontrolled heart problems, recent musculoskeletal surgery, use of a walking aid, or significant vision loss; one phase accepts adults 18 and older and a later phase focuses on ages 60 and up. The trial is small, about 15 participants, run by the University of Nicosia.
