Plain-Language Summary
They want to find out whether letting people with Parkinson's choose key parts of their practice helps them learn a new arm/hand movement better and stay more motivated. Participants will perform a motor task where they can control things like when to attempt a movement or how many repetitions they do, while researchers measure improvements and motivation, on the theory that choice boosts attention, confidence, and skill retention without changing medications. People 20 and older with Parkinson's who can follow task instructions and have no recent upper limb surgery or injury can join, while those with other neurological disorders, severe upper-limb tremor, significant anxiety or depression, implanted DBS or pacemaker, seizure history, unstable medical issues, uncontrolled migraines or tinnitus, or pregnancy are excluded.
