Combining Aerobic Exercise and Virtual Reality for Cognitive-motor Rehabilitation in PD

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This project will provide preliminary data on the feasibility and effects of exercise and VR on motor behavior and neuroplasticity in PD. Results from this work will provide insight into whether combination interventions utilizing AE and VR have parallel effects on cognition, gait, and neuroplasticity in PD.
