Patient-Specific 3D Action Observation Training in Parkinson's Disease

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Abant Izzet Baysal University

Conditions: Parkinson Disease, Virtual Reality, Action Obervation Training, Immersive Virtual Reality, 3d Recording

Interventions: Patient-Specific VR Action Observation Training, Healthy-Model VR Action Observation Training

Countries: Turkey (Türkiye)

Although studies exist demonstrating the effects of single-session action observation training on bradykinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease, research investigating the long-term application of such training remains limited. Furthermore, the broader literature indicates that action observation training has typically been conducted in simulated environments or by using recordings obtained from healthy individuals. The aim of the present study is to examine the effects of action observation training, delivered in a fully immersive virtual reality environment using each patient's own 3D motion recordings, on bradykinesia and other disease-related parameters.
