Balance Tele-Rehab for Parkinson's Disease
This study is looking at how well a virtual balance rehabilitation program, called Agility Boot Camp (ABC), works for people with Parkinson's disease. You might be able to join if you are 55-85 years old, have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a movement disorders specialist, and respond to levodopa. The study wants to see if this tele-rehabilitation, led by a physical therapist online, can improve your balance after four weeks. Researchers will measure your balance before and after the program using a test called the Mini-BESTest. The study aims to enroll 80 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with 80 participants who will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: unsupervised home exercises or tele-rehabilitation with a therapist.
- What's involved
- You would participate in virtual tele-rehabilitation sessions for 60 minutes, about three times a week for four weeks (12 sessions). You will also have assessments for seven days before and after the intervention using wearable sensors.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your balance will be measured post-rehabilitation, but the duration of any follow-up after that is not specified.
