Home-based Self-exercise in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: A Feasibility Study

This study aims to test whether patients with Parkinson's disease can safely and effectively use a home-based exercise program guided by videos. Participants will follow video instructions for exercises at home while their movements are monitored by a camera, which provides real-time feedback. The study will check how well participants complete the exercises, their satisfaction with the program, and any changes in clinical function. The goal is to see if this type of home exercise can help patients increase their activity levels without significant side effects.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults aged 19 years or older, clinically diagnosed with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (PD) according to the Movement Disorder Society (MDS) clinical diagnostic criteria
  • Patients at Hoehn and Yahr stage 1-2.5
  • Patients on stable dopaminergic therapy with no changes in the past 1 month
  • Patients receiving Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) rehabilitation therapy once weekly as outpatients

Treatment and study plan

Home-based self-exercise feedback program using video

Behavioral

Participants follow a 6-week home-based exercise program using video-guided instructions and the iPixel exercise feedback system, which monitors movements in real-time and provides corrective feedback. The program includes: Stretching exercises, Strength training, Balance exercises, Aerobic exercises, LSVT-specific exercises.

Participants are instructed to complete sessions at least 5 times per week, 40 minutes per session. Additionally, weekly 30-minute in-person rehabilitation sessions are conducted to adjust the next week's exercise intensity based on each participant's functional level.

Primary outcomes

  1. Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), Part III (Motor Examination)

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks

    0 to 108, with higher scores indicating worse motor function.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Modified Hoehn and Yahr sacle

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks

    Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale Score range: 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating more severe disease stage.

  2. Berg Balance Scale

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks

    0 to 56, with higher scores indicating better balance ability.

  3. Functional Gait Ability

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks

    0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better gait function.

  4. Freezing of Gait Questionnaire

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks

    0 to 24, with higher scores indicating more severe freezing of gait.

  5. EuroQol-5 Dimention Questionnaire

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks

    0 to 1, with higher scores indicating better health-related quality of life.
