Summary For Families
The team wants to understand how balance and walking problems in Parkinson's relate to daily physical activity and sleep quality, because those connections can influence falls, fatigue, and overall function. Participants with Parkinson's and matched healthy volunteers will have balance and gait tested and their activity and sleep tracked using clinical assessments and smartphone-based monitoring to find patterns between mobility, activity level, and sleep. No treatment is given; Parkinson's participants should be Hoehn and Yahr stages 1 to 3, able to walk independently, on a stable medication plan, and tested while in their "on" phase. The study is looking for adults 40 to 75 years old who use a smartphone and do not have major other neurological, cardiovascular, orthopedic, hearing, or vision problems.

- Who can participate?
- Participants must be between 40 Years and 75 Years.
- Where is this trial located?
- This trial is recruiting at 1 location.
- Does it cost anything to join?
- You are never charged a fee to join a legitimate clinical trial, and the study treatment and study-specific tests are provided by the trial sponsor at no charge. In the US, routine care you would receive anyway can still be billed to you or your insurance; coverage rules differ by country, and trials in the UK and Canada usually run through public health systems. Travel, parking, and time are real costs, and some trials reimburse them while others do not. Before enrolling, ask the study coordinator to explain in writing what is and is not covered.
- How long does the trial last?
- This trial is estimated to last approximately 2 months.
- Can I leave the trial if I change my mind?
- Yes. You can withdraw from any clinical trial at any time, for any reason, without affecting your standard medical care. Trials are voluntary by law. The team may ask if you are willing to do a brief exit visit so they can collect safety information, but you are not obligated.
- Can my spouse or care partner come with me to visits?
- In most cases yes, and it is often encouraged. Care partners can help with notes, questions, and getting home safely after a long visit. Some study assessments do need to happen one on one, but care partners are usually welcome for the rest of the appointment.
- Will I get a placebo in this trial?
- This is an observational study, so there is no placebo and no experimental treatment is assigned. Researchers observe and collect information while you continue your usual care.
- What procedures are involved in this trial?
- Based on the protocol, this trial involves: Wearable / at-home monitoring (non-invasive); Walking & movement tests (non-invasive). Confirm the full schedule with the study coordinator.
