Treatment of Gait Disturbance in Parkinson's Disease With Prism Adaptation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Prism adaptation for Parkinson. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Subjects diagnosed with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease, between ages of 40-85 inclusive, who have been referred for gait training. Since there can be subtle differences in the brain organization of left- and right-handed people that may influence some of the measurements, right handed participants are preferred. However, a left handed participant may be considered. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups to undergo two weeks of twice-daily sessions. Group A receiving goggles fitted with lenses that distort vision and Group B patients receiving sham goggles

Interventions
Prism adaptation is one type of sensorimotor adaptation. Prism adaptation described any adaptation to a prismatic shift in vision (i.e. any magnitude or direction of shift). In this study we are using adaptation to upward-shifting prisms, which induces a downward sensorimotor after-effect.
