A personalised, gait training telerehabilitation programme for people with Parkinson's Disease: A long-term pilot study.
Article in Clinical rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo assess the feasibility and, preliminarily, the effectiveness of long-term, personalized gait training using a digital wearable system (Gait Tutor) that provides real-time audio biofeedback to correct or reinforce gait behaviour.DesignOpen-label and non-controlled, with assessments before and after intervention.SettingReal-world.ParticipantsTwenty persons with Parkinson's disease.InterventionParticipants performed home-based gait training in their ON medication state for 30 minutes, 3 times per week, for 9 months using a Gait Tutor.Main measuresWe evaluated adherence (% of expected sessions), usability, and, preliminarily, efficacy by assessing the motor performance of the participants before and after the intervention.ResultsSeventeen participants (85%) completed the study, performing an average of 83 sessions. Adherence was higher for persons with an intermediate disease stage (80.5% of expected training sessions), compared to those with a more advanced disease stage (46.2%). All participants reported extremely positive scores on the questionnaire about ease of use and effectiveness (4.37 ± 0.42). The Movement Disorders Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor scores remained stable after the training (mean 9 months). In people with an intermediate disease stage, clinical scores and physical capacity tended to improve.ConclusionsFor the first time, this study shows the feasibility of long-term real-world gait training for people with Parkinson's disease, providing preliminary evidence that personalized, technology-driven rehabilitation strategies can be sustained over extended periods and can assist clinicians in objectively assessing gait performance in the real world.
