About this study

In plain language

This study tests a remote rehab system that uses touch-based feedback to help people with Parkinson’s disease. It is for adults over age 18 who have Parkinson’s disease.

Individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) often have motor difficulties that can negatively impact daily activities and their quality of life. Research has shown that to slow the progression of these symptoms, patients should partake in effective physical rehabilitation. However, effective physical rehabilitation has many barriers, including timing, cost, and other personal or system-level challenges. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the haptic remote rehabilitation system for patients with PD using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in a field environment.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
