Participants sought: Balance development for Parkinson's patients using a Reviver

Dr Ben Sinclair supervising a participant

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) involves a range of motor deficits which can be treated with physical activity. The Reviver is an Australian-developed vestibular-stimulation, isometric-exercise machine which allows impaired individuals to perform isometric exercise far beyond their unassisted capacity.

We aim to test whether an intervention using the Reviver can improve the symptoms of PD, and to discern the physiological and neural underpinnings of any such improvement.
