# Improve seated motor cognitive function

**Goal (in five words):** Improve seated motor cognitive function

**Official Title:** A Novel Robotic System for Motor-cognitive Exercise for Patients With Parkinson's Disease

**Trial ID:** [NCT06730074](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06730074)

## Key Facts

- **Phase:** NA
- **Status:** RECRUITING
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Sponsor:** Adi Negev-Nahalat Eran
- **Target Enrollment:** 15 participants
- **Start Date:** 2024-12-12
- **Completion Date:** 2025-03
- **Conditions:** Parkinson Disease, Idiopathic
- **Interventions:** Using a gamified rehabilitation system in a sitting position involving robots and music for the benefit of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD)
- **Intervention Types:** DEVICE

## Summary For Families

The goal is to see if a seated, robot-assisted, gamified exercise program with music can improve motor control and cognitive-motor skills that often worsen in Parkinson's, like hand coordination, timing, and dual-tasking. Participants will use robotic devices that guide and resist upper-limb movements while music and game feedback provide rhythm and attention cues, with precise sensors to retrain movement patterns and keep people motivated; it is a non-drug rehabilitation tool meant to complement medications like levodopa rather than replace them. The study is looking for Hebrew-speaking adults aged 50 to 75 with idiopathic Parkinson's at Hoehn and Yahr stage 3 or below, a MoCA score of 23 or higher, and no major upper-limb orthopedic issues or uncorrected vision or hearing problems.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 50 Years
- **Maximum age:** 75 Years
