Multimodal Exercise Program with Gamification for Parkinson's Disease

This pilot study is looking at a Multimodal Exercise Program with Gamification (MEP+G) for people with Parkinson's disease. This program involves non-contact boxing and computerized games, done three times a week for six weeks. Researchers want to see if this exercise program and the ways they measure its effects are acceptable for a larger study in the future. You might be able to join if you are 40 to 80 years old, have idiopathic Parkinson's disease (stages 1-3), can walk with or without help, can stand for 10 minutes, and have been on stable Parkinson's medications for at least 3 months. The study will measure how well participants stick to the program and how practical the outcome measurements are over 21 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional pilot study with a planned enrollment of 50 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
You would participate in a 6-week exercise program, attending sessions three times per week. Each session lasts 60 minutes and involves group exercises, non-contact boxing, and a computerized game.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study will track fidelity, adherence, and feasibility of outcomes for 21 months after the intervention.

required
  • Fidelity of intervention21 months

    Participants completing exercises as prescribed: measured using the daily exercise plan as a "yes" or "no".

  • Intervention Adherence21 months

    Measured by daily exercise plan; instructors will indicate whether participant was present as a "yes" or "no"

  • Feasibility of Outcomes21 months

    Retention: number of participants who completed the entire program divided by total number who started; x 100 to determine the percentage of participants who completed the program.

  • Assessment of Data Collection21 months

    Data collection: measured using a pre-populated form and marked as a "yes" or "no" by the PI.

  • Assessment of Safety21 months

    Adverse events (i.e., falls): measured by the daily exercise plan as indicated by a numeric number and type of adverse event

  • Assessment of Participants Perception21 months

    Measured via Qualtrics survey asking participants "How satisfied were you in participating in this study" using an ordinal scale (0-4): (4)(strongly agree; (3)agree; (2)neutral; (1)disagree; (0)strongly disagree); with a higher score reflection increased satisfaction
