About

Tests used to assess upper extremity endurance in Parkinson's patients are limited. This study aimed to investigate whether the 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6-MPRT), which has been validated in many respiratory disease groups in previous studies, is an endurance assessment battery that can also be used in Parkinson's patients. 6-MPRT, Weight Lifting Test, and 30-Second Arm Curl Test will be applied in the assessments. Assessments will be made twice on the same day by two different evaluators, 1 hour apart. After the first evaluation, the patient will be called for the second time 2 days later, and the same procedure will be repeated.
