Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of virtual reality training on functional reaching movements in people with Parkinson's disease: a randomized controlled pilot trial.
To investigate whether practising reaching for virtual moving targets would improve motor performance in people with Parkinson's disease. ⋯ A short virtual reality training programme improved the movement speed of discrete aiming tasks when participants reached for real stationary objects. However, the transfer effect was minimal when reaching for real moving objects.
