Clinical Trial Summary

Gait disorder is a disabling symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD) affecting all patients during the course. Three methods of treadmill training (TT) will be compared to assess additional augmented reality (AR), or additional dual task (DT). AR TT, DT TT, and TT alone applied over 3 weeks at each day will be compared for their impact on falls, walking, freezing and attention for 3 months in a double blinded randomized controlled trial during regular neurorehabilitation.
