Clinical Trial Summary

The ability of performing multi-tasking procedures is impaired in patients with Parkinson's disease. In this study, our goal was to detect the effects of dual-task training with treadmill training on walking and balance and to compare its effects on quality of life, cognitive functions and risk of fall, to treadmill training alone.
