About this trial
This study aims to better understand how people with Parkinson's control reaching movements. Specifically, we are asking how these individuals respond to different environmental perturbations. Testing includes reaching movements made within a virtual reality set-up.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age 18-85 years
Able to perform reaching movements of ~20 cm (8 inches)
MMSE score ≥ 26/30
Willing and able to attend all testing sessions
Disqualifiers
Any chronic or recent upper extremity musculoskeletal conditions that affects reaching
Any neurological disorders other than Parkinson's disease (e.g., seizure disorders, closed head injuries with loss of consciousness greater than 15 minutes, CNS neoplasm, history of stroke)
