The Effect of Eye Exercises in Parkinson's Disease
The Effect of Eye Exercises on Balance, Functional Mobility and Fall-Related Concern in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Parkinson's disease is commonly associated with impaired gait, postural instability, reduced physical function, and increased concern about falling, all of which contribute substantially to disability and reduced quality of life. Exercise-based rehabilitation is increasingly recommended as a core non-pharmacological strategy for improving mobility and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. In parallel, recent clinical and neurorehabilitation research suggests that eye-movement and gaze-stabilization training may influence postural control, visuomotor integration, and movement performance in neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease. This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether a supervised in-center eye-exercise program can improve dynamic balance, functional mobility, gait performance, and fall-related concern in patients with Parkinson's disease.
