Online Motor Control in People With Parkinson's Disease
This study is looking to understand how people with Parkinson's disease control their reaching movements, especially when their environment changes. Researchers will use a motor control assessment, which involves making reaching movements in a virtual reality setting. The study aims to see how accurately and quickly people can adjust their movements. You might be able to join if you are 18-85 years old, can perform reaching movements of about 8 inches, have a good score on a memory test (MMSE score ≥ 26/30), and are able to attend all testing sessions. If you have Parkinson's disease, you also need to be taking dopaminergic/dopamine agonist medication. The study plans to enroll 100 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 100 participants. It is a basic science study of control of reaching movements.
- What's involved
- You would participate in testing sessions that involve making reaching movements within a virtual reality setup.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoints (end-point errors, reaction times, movement times) are measured during the intervention.

What this trial measures
- End-point errorsduring intervention
Euclidean distance from target to final hand position (units: cm); measurement derived from position data sampled at 1000 Hz
- Reaction timesduring intervention
Time from visual target presentation to movement onset (units: ms); measurement derived from position data sampled at 1000 Hz
- Movement timesduring intervention
Time from movement onset to movement end (units: ms); measurement derived from position data sampled at 1000 Hz
