About this study

Design: Intervention study

Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation center

Participants: 55 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients completed the trial and 42 serves as comparison healthy controls

Intervention: An initial screening established specific dysfunctions of PD patients with Hoehn-Yahr stage 2-3 who were then randomly assigned to standard care (n = 20) or standard care plus at-limit intensity, individualized agility program (15 sessions, 3 weeks, n = 35).

Main outcome measures: Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale, Motor Experiences of Daily Living, a measure sensitive to changes in a broad spectrum of PD symptoms

In group time, repeated measurements of variance analysis were compared to the picture parkinson's disease based on MDS-UPDRS M-EDL, Beck depression score, PDQ-39, EQ5D VAS, Schwab & England scale. The TUG test and 12 static posturographic measurements are compared and compared to the healthy group as a standard.

An at-limit and individualized sensorimotor and visuomotor agility exercise program vs. standard care, will improve non-demented, stage 2-3 PD patients' clinical symptoms, mobility, and postural stability by functionally meaningful margins.
