Summary

This study aims to explore the use of full immersion virtual reality technology on improving balance in those with Parkinson's Disease. Patients will be immersed in a virtual environment and be tasked with completed games and activities, which mirror activities of daily living. It is hypothesized that this immersion in the virtual reality environment will improve their sensory pathways which are used to improve balance, decreasing falls.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: VIRTUAL REALITY GROUPExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Virtual reality intervention will be assigned to this group. They will complete activities aimed at improving their dynamic balance. These activities are specifically developed based on previous literature and geared towards mirroring day to day activities/scenarios that individuals with PD may come into contact with.

Group II: PDSAFEX GROUPActive Control1 Intervention

Parkinson's Disease Sensory Attention Focused Exercise (PDSAFEX) is an exercise intervention developed in light of research which focuses on utilizing sensory integration and proprioception to improve balance. This intervention will be administered to one group of my participants. The protocol will be followed and led by trained volunteers.

Group III: CONTROL GROUPActive Control1 Intervention

The control group in this study will be asked to maintain their daily lifestyle as closely as possible for the 12-week duration of the study.
