Understanding How Movements Are Transferred From Task to Task in Parkinson's Disease (NCT07351032)
Neural Mechanism of Skill Transfer in Parkinson's Disease
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to understand how a specific brain area, the Posterior Parietal Cortex (PPC), plays a role in movement transfer from walking on a split-belt treadmill (SBT) to walking on the ground in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). Here, investigators will apply repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to upregulate the PPC. Then, the differences in the gait parameters between pre- and post-interventions will be compared between the TMS-active and the TMS-sham.
