An interventional study of Virtual Reality Treadmill Training and Treadmill training in Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke and Parkinson Disease, sponsored by Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi Onlus. Status unknown at 1 site in Italy. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-07-27.
Sponsored by Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi Onlus · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Balance and gait problems in subjects with neurological disease lead to reduced mobility, loss of independence and frequent falls. Treadmill training is a widely used form of treatment and it has been used in subjects with neurological disease to ameliorate walking and balance deficits. The Virtual Reality Treadmill as a therapeutic tool has been recently introduced to practice gait adaptability elicited by aligning foot placement relative to the projected visual context.
Forty-eight subjects with neurological disease will receive treadmill training treatment randomly divided in Traditional Treadmill training and Virtual Reality Treadmill training.
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to assess whether Treadmill training with Virtual Reality is better than Traditional Treadmill training in improving dynamic balance and cognitive aspects in subjects with neurological diseases.
4,487 studies on the registry are indexed under Parkinson Disease; 1,082 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 48 is above the median of 40 across 3,294 interventional studies indexed under Parkinson Disease.

Exclusion Criteria:
40' treadmill training walking holding the handrail
Device: Treadmill training
40' treadmill training walking with virtual visual and auditory cues
Device: Virtual Reality Treadmill Training
Subjects in the experimental group will receive 40 minutes comprising exercises focused on improving dynamic balance following auditory and visual cues.

Change in the Modified Dynamic Gait Index
Tool used to assess dynamic balance
Time frame: Change from Baseline Modified Dynamic Gait Index scores at 3-5 weeks
Change in the 6 minutes walking test
tool used to assess walking endurance
Time frame: Change from Baseline 6 minutes walking test scores at 3-5 weeks
Change in Activity Balance Confidence
Tool used to assess of balance confidence in daily life activities
Time frame: Change from Baseline Activity Balance Confidence scores at 3-5 weeks
Change in 10-meter walking test
Tool used to assess walking speed in 3 different conditions ( normal speed, fastest speed, cognitive dual task)
Time frame: Change from Baseline10-meter walking test scores at 3-5 weeks
Change in Trial Making test
The Trail Making Test is a neuropsychological tapping visual attention and task switching. The test can provide information about visual search speed, scanning, speed of processing, mental flexibility, as well as executive functioning.
Time frame: Change from Baseline Trial Making test scores at 3-5 weeks
Change in Raven's Matrices
Test used in measuring abstract reasoning and regarded as a non-verbal estimate of fluid intelligence.
Time frame: Change from Baseline Raven's Matrices scores at 3-5 weeks
