Gait, Physical Activity, and Sleep in Parkinson's Disease
The Relationship Between Balance and Gait Impairments, Physical Activity Level, and Sleep Quality in Parkinson's Disease
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to investigate the relationship between balance and gait impairments, physical activity levels, and sleep status in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Both motor and non-motor symptoms of PD significantly affect quality of life, yet these dimensions are often evaluated separately. By examining gait, balance, physical activity, and sleep parameters together and comparing patients with healthy individuals of similar age, the study seeks to clarify how these variables interact and whether observed impairments are disease-specific or related to natural aging. The findings are expected to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of PD and support the development of more effective management strategies.
