About this trial

This observational study's main goal is to learn more about the neural mechanisms during movement in Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, it aims to inspire personalised treatment options.

Participants will undergo a protocol that involves walking and gait-related motor tasks, such as seated stepping. During the protocol, brain activity will be recorded.
