Zesty Exercise System for Therapeutic Engagement

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Emory University

Conditions: Parkinson Disease

Interventions: ZEST-E Robot-Assisted Exercise Program

Countries: United States

This study will evaluate exercise delivered through the Zesty Exercise System for Therapeutic Engagement (ZEST-E) for people with Parkinson's disease when sessions are monitored either in person or remotely. Participants will complete robot-guided exercise three times per week for three weeks. The study will assess feasibility, retention, safety, acceptability, and tolerability of remotely monitored ZEST-E and will measure changes in functional performance using the Standing Forward Reach test and the 30-Second Chair Stand test. These outcomes reflect range of motion and lower-body strength targeted by the exercise program.
