The effect of auricular stimulation on the locomotion capability in patients with Parkinson's Disease was investigated.
Effect of the auricular stimulation as a supplementary and alternative usage to Levodopa was investigated in this study. Clinical data were collected through motion capture system while the participants performed the clinical task asked by the investigators.
