RECRUITING
Sponsor
Gazi University
Study Type

Conditions
Parkinson Disease

Plain-Language Summary

The goal is to find out whether problems with the arms and hands are linked to worse balance and mobility in people with Parkinson's, which could help target rehab and fall prevention. Participants will have their upper extremity function measured, things like hand dexterity, strength, and coordination, alongside standard balance and walking tests to look for patterns and relationships. Researchers are looking for adults 18 to 80 with a specialist diagnosis of Parkinson's in Hoehn and Yahr stages 1 to 3, a Standardized Mini-Mental Test score over 24, and no vision, hearing, perceptual, upper-limb orthopedic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, or hormonal conditions.
