Steps Against the Burden of Parkinson's Disease - RCT Kiel

This training methodology focuses on adjusting the treadmill's speed according to the individual's walking pace, creating a more dynamic and adaptive exercise environment. SDTT is designed to mimic real-world walking conditions and challenges, promoting neuromuscular coordination, balance, and overall mobility. By tailoring the treadmill speed to match the user's gait, SDTT encourages the development of natural and efficient walking patterns. This training technique has shown promise in various clinical settings, aiding individuals with gait impairments caused by neurological conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, or post-injury rehabilitation. Its adaptability allows for progressive adjustments as a person's walking abilities improve, making it a versatile tool for optimizing gait mechanics and functional mobility. o ensure continued progress and integration into daily life, home-based walking training, supported by a phone application, will be included between T1 and T2.

The SDTT+ anteroposterior perturbations program will trigger reactive gait adaptations by accelerations and decelerations of one of the belts of a split-belt treadmill.
