ParKinWalk: Physical Activity and Long Group-walking for Parkinson's Disease — ParKInWalk  

Parkinson Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: ParKinWalk: Physical Activity and Long Group-walking for Motor Impairment and Quality of Life in Parkinson's Disease

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The study will evaluate the impact of exercise training program followed by long-walking onon supervised and unsupervised gait assessment in Parkinson´s disease and control subjects.

Clinical Trial Description

Background: Several studies suggest an impact of physical exercise on walking parameters in Parkinson´s disease (PD) patients.

Objective: the present study will evaluate the impact of three months physical exercise training program followed by a group-long walking on motor impairment in PD.

Methods:

PD patients will be randomized in two arms: one group will be assessed to a training exercise program of three months followed by long-walking in group under the support of physician/physiotherapist and caregivers. A complete motor, cognitive and general assessment will be performed at baseline. The patients will be evaluated under supervised an unsupervised conditions at baseline, before the long-walking, during the walking and after 2 months after the walk. ;
