Interventions

  • Dynamic Standing Desk — DEVICE

Study Details

This research is studying the use of a new type of standing desk in a small number of people to learn about the user experience for people with Parkinson's disease. 12 4-hour sessions will be performed to test the primary hypothesis that dynamic standing improves gait function compared to static standing and control sitting. This study has 2 phases. Phase 1 will be an open-label study and Phase 2 will be an in-lab randomized controlled trial pilot study. This is phase 1 of the study.
