Official title
Effects of Whole Body Periodic Acceleration on Activity and Sleep In Parkinson's Disease
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Whole-body periodic acceleration (WBPA) is a new, non-invasive, and promising therapy for a diverse and growing list of disorders including cardiovascular disease. During WBPA, patients lie in the supine position on a bed that is capable of translating back and forth parallel to the ground, along the head-to-foot axis of the patient. Thus, this treatment is best described as a form of "passive exercise." The frequency of the translation (up to 180 cycles/minute; cpm) as well as the distance traveled (2-24mm) by the bed can be adjusted by the patient or health care professional. The science behind the therapeutic effects of WBPA still remains largely unknown. The investigators are observing how WBPA may impact on sleep and activity in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
