A Novel Balance Program to Improve Balance in People With Parkinson's Disease
A Novel Balance Program to Improve Balance in People With Parkinson's Disease: A Feasibility Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this exploratory single-blinded feasibility study is to explore the effects of a lateral stepping program integrated into an existing community-based group exercise program for people with PD. The researchers hypothesize that participation in a lateral stepping program a minimum of 2 times/week for 8 weeks, in addition to RSB class participation is feasible in middle to late stage PD and will decrease fall risk factors. The researchers also hypothesize that the integration of this program into an existing community-based RSB program will be deemed feasible as shown by the number of sessions attended by each participant.
