NCT04616508

Brief Summary

This study aims to better understand how people with Parkinson's control reaching movements. Specifically, we are asking how these individuals respond to different environmental perturbations. Testing includes reaching movements made within a virtual reality set-up.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • End-point errors

    Euclidean distance from target to final hand position (units: cm); measurement derived from position data sampled at 1000 Hz

    during intervention

  • Reaction times

    Time from visual target presentation to movement onset (units: ms); measurement derived from position data sampled at 1000 Hz

    during intervention

  • Movement times

    Time from movement onset to movement end (units: ms); measurement derived from position data sampled at 1000 Hz

    during intervention
