Study name	Study on the effect and mechanism of cognitive‐cup‐tapping‐balance‐training on fall prevention in community Parkinson's patients: a randomized controlled trial
Methods	RCT
Participants	Target sample size including subset of people with Parkinson's disease: 87 Inclusion for participants with Parkinson's disease: Parkinson's disease diagnosed more than 6 months prior, aged between 40 and 80 years; Hoehn and Yahr stage 1 to 4, stable response to anti‐Parkinson's drugs, able to walk independently at least 30m with or without walking aids, normal vision. Exclusion criteria for participants with Parkinson's disease: Mini Mental State examination score < 24, undergone neurosurgical procedures such as deep brain stimulation, musculoskeletal problems, cardiopulmonary diseases or other neurological diseases that may affect balance or exercise, lower extremity peripheral neuropathy, severe hearing or language impairment leading to an inability to understand commands and express needs, impaired visual function (such as significantly reduced colour resolution, contrast sensitivity, spatial resolution, etc.) or visual hallucinations after medication.
