About

This study aims to determine the effects of a motor-cognitive exercise intervention, delivered in the home environment using eHealth methods, among people with Parkinson's disease. The intervention will support and motivate motor training, combined with cognitive training, aimed at attentional and executive functions, among people at mild-moderate disease stages. The main hypothesis is that unsupervised motor-cognitive training in the home environment using eHealth will lead to improvements in gait performance, increased physical activity levels and improved perceived health.

Full description

This randomised controlled trial will investigate the efficacy of a motor-cognitive exercise program in the home environment, over a 10-week period, on physical function, and motor-cognitive dual task function as well as physical activity behavior in everyday life. Participants will be recruited through Stockholms sjukhem foundation, Karolinska University and via announcements in relevant forums like for instance the Swedish Parkinson Association. Consenting participants will be randomized to the eHealth Intervention group or the control group condition. Block randomization will be achieved using a computerized random sequence generator. Blinded assessors will perform the pre- and post-intervention testing of physical performance.

The ultimate aim of this project is to provide people with PD with continual long-term and evidence-based rehabilitation in their everyday lives using mobile health technology, to support their self- management and increase their quality of life.

100 participants in 2 patient groups

Motor-cognitive exercise using eHealth
Experimental group
Description:
10-week eHealth based motor-cognitive home training using digital tablets. Cognitive behavioural strategies to promote increase in physical activity levels (walking). Participants will be encouraged to perform 150 minutes of home exercise per week, occurring on three non-consecutive days.
Treatment:
Behavioral: Motor-cognitive home exercise supported by eHealth technology
Individualised home training program
Active Comparator group
Description:
Participants will receive an individualized home exercise program on paper and one instructional session. They will receive written instructions on performing the program 2-3 times weekly and instructions on exercise progression. They will receive no support during the 10-week period.
Treatment:
Behavioral: Individualized home exercise program
