Moving Yourself in Space and Time: MYSTIC (NCT07697664)

Moving Yourself in Space and Time Identifying Spatial and Temporal Components of Complex Rhythmic Movement Training for People With Parkinson's Disease and Cognitive Impairment

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Emory University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This study is being done to answer the question: Do people with Parkinson's benefit from a new stepping therapy, and how do people with Parkinson's best learn new steps and rhythms set to music? Researchers will also compare individuals with Parkinson's Disease with people with Mild Cognitive Impairment, and with people with neither of these conditions. The purpose of this study is to identify principles of human-music interactions to establish underlying guiding theories for application to music-based rehabilitation for older populations with neurodegenerative disease, leading to more refined and targeted music-based rhythmic movement therapies.
