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.
