Investigation of Dual-Task Exercise's Effect in Parkinson's Disease

The scale consists of four separate domains. The first section includes non-motor experiences in daily life (13 items), the second section includes motor experiences in daily life (13 items), the third section involves motor examination (33 items), and the last section addresses motor complications (6 items). The scale contains 65 individual items in total. Items are generally scored between 0-4, with some Yes/No items. The domains of the scale directly related to the upper extremities, including eating, dressing, cleaning, writing, rigidity, finger movements, hand movements, pronation and supination of the hand, postural tremor in the hands, kinetic tremor in the hands, resting tremor, and tremor persistence, were used in this study (Figure 1). The MDS-UPDRS scoring was performed while patients were in the "ON" state.

The BBT consists of a panel and two boxes, one containing 150 wooden blocks. The patient is asked to transfer blocks from one box to another within 60 seconds, one block at a time, using only one hand. The test is repeated with both hands. The number of blocks moved provides the total score. A higher score indicates better manual dexterity.

This licensed tool assesses the quality of life associated with Parkinson's disease with a total of 39 items. Each item is scored between 0-4, with higher scores indicating poor quality of life. Responses are converted into hundredths for scoring, and the total score ranges from 0 to 100 points.

This form was developed by the investigators and included age, body mass index, disease duration, sex, dominant limb, education level, presence of freezing, presence of tremor, MMSE score, total daily dose of levodopa, and Hoehn & Yahr Staging.
