AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- People who have a confirmed diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (a form of Parkinson's not caused by another condition)
- People who do not experience "freezing of gait" (sudden episodes where a person feels their feet are stuck to the ground), confirmed by a questionnaire and a movement test
- People who have no other neurological (brain or nervous system) diagnoses
- People who do not have a serious bone, joint, or balance condition that affects the way they walk or their ability to stay steady
- People whose results on a standard memory and thinking test (the Montreal Cognitive Assessment) score 25 or higher, indicating no signs of mild cognitive impairment
- People who are able to walk on their own, without any walking aids, for 30 minutes
- People who have never used a split-belt treadmill before (a special treadmill where each foot moves at a different speed)
Who may not be able to join:
- People who experience severe involuntary movements (dyskinesia) that interfere with walking or balance, or who have significant hearing or vision problems
- People who are observed to be unable to walk safely on a standard treadmill during assessment
- People who have a neurological condition other than Parkinson's disease, or another condition such as an orthopaedic (bone or joint) problem that affects their ability to move around
- People who have a deep brain stimulator implanted (a device surgically placed in the brain to help manage Parkinson's symptoms)
- People for whom transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique used in the trial) is not considered safe (confirm with trial site)
