A pilot randomised controlled trial of a vestibular-stimulation, isometric exercise machine to manage symptoms of Parkinsonism

This study will test the efficacy of a novel therapeutic exercise machine at improving symptoms of Parkinson's disease and their neurological underpinnings in patients with Parkinson's Disease and Atypical Parkinsonism.<br> The Reviver exercise machine simultaneously stimulates the vestibular system whilst inducing isometric exercise.<br> We hypothesise that a 12 week intervention on the Reviver will improve balance, mobility, and other motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.本研究旨在评估一款新型治疗性运动器械对帕金森病（Parkinson's Disease）及非典型帕金森综合征（Atypical Parkinsonism）患者的帕金森病症状及其相关神经机制的改善效果。 Reviver运动器械可在诱导等长运动（isometric exercise）的同时，对前庭系统（vestibular system）产生同步刺激作用。 本研究提出假说：通过Reviver器械实施12周干预，可改善帕金森病患者的平衡能力、活动能力及其他运动症状。
