A New 3D Virtual Reality-based Upper Limb Training to Improve Dexterity in Parkinson's Disease: a Randomized Pilot Study
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
We investigate the impact of a 4-week virtual reality-based upper limb training in Parkinson's disease. The benefits on dexterity of this training program will be evaluated. For these purposes, a randomised, two arm, single assessor blind, parallel design with a monocentric, study setup will be performed.
