Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this single blind randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of sensory-perception-motor training on cognitive functions, balance and gait in patients with Parkinson's Disease? The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on balance in patients with Parkinson's Disease? - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on cognitive functions in patients with Parkinson's Disease? - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on gait in patients with Parkinson's Disease? Patients in the control group will be asked to continue their routine lives and return for evaluation after 8 weeks. Individuals in the control group will be followed without any additional treatment or advice. Patients in the study group will receive sensory-perceptual-motor training for 60 minutes, 3 days a week for 8 weeks, in addition to their routine lives. No additional recommendations will be given to individuals in either group.


Description:

30 patients will be included in the study. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be divided into two groups, study and control groups, by using a table of random numbers, ensuring that there are equal numbers of patients in each group. Demographic and clinical information of all patients participating in the study will be recorded. Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test and Modified Hoehn Yahr Staging Scale scores of all participants will be recorded by the neurologist and eligible patients will be included in the study. Evaluations to be applied to the groups within the scope of the study: Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part 3 , Static posturography measurement, Functional Reaching Test , Dynamic Gait Index , Rapid Mild Cognitive Impairment Screening, Stroop Test, Symbol Digit Modalities Test , Clock Drawing Test. Assessments will be made during the patients' "on" period (approximately 60 minutes after medication intake). On the first day of the study, demographic information will be recorded in both groups and the patients participating in the study will be randomized. After randomization, patients in the control group will be asked to continue their routine lives and return for evaluation after 8 weeks. Individuals in the control group will be followed without any additional treatment or advice. Patients in the study group will receive sensory-perceptual-motor training for 60 minutes, 3 days a week for 8 weeks, in addition to their routine lives. No additional recommendations will be given to individuals in either group. Patients will be excluded from the study if they participate in any physiotherapy and rehabilitation program during the study. Patients in the study group will be evaluated 3 times in total, at the beginning of the study, at the end of the study (in the 8th week) and 4 weeks after the end of the study (in the 12th week), and patients in the control group will be evaluated 2 times in total, at the beginning of the study and in the 8th week.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Static Posturography It measures postural stability while standing statically and dynamically. The device has a computer-connected force platform that measures the vertical forces applied on the patients' feet (center of pressure/COG) to measure the position of the center of gravity and postural control. Baseline and week 8
Primary Modified Dynamic Gait Index Index is used to evaluate and document the ability to respond to changing task demands during gait. An increase in the score indicates that the patient's walking ability is better. Baseline and week 8
Primary Functional Reach Test It is used to evaluate dynamic balance and anteroposterior stability. In the standing position, the arm is lifted 90° upwards and stretched forward as much as possible, without losing contact with the feet. Initially, the projection of the acromion and the 3rd metacarpal bone on the wall is marked. At the final point reached after reaching forward, the projection of the 3rd metacarpal bone on the wall is marked and the difference is calculated. In elderly individuals, there is a risk of falling if the reach distance is less than 25.4 cm, and there is a risk of serious falling if it is less than 15 cm. Baseline and week 8
Primary Rapid Cognitive Screen It consists of 6 subtests: orientation, registration, clock drawing, delayed recall, verbal fluency and logical memory. This has a high degree of sensitivity in detecting cognitive impairment. It is also quick to apply, taking 3 to 5 minutes. There are cutoff points that are adjusted for factors such as age and education level. The total score is 100, and a score below 62 points indicates cognitive impairment. Baseline and week 8
Primary Symbol Digit Modalities Test It is a test frequently used in clinics because it evaluates attention, visuo-spatial information processing speed and working memory. Test is based on matching meaningless geometric shapes with certain numbers. The first 10 symbols are considered trials. Then the test starts and the person gets points for the correct marking he makes within 90 seconds. The maximum score is 60. Turkish Standardization of the test battery containing the relevant test was made and permission was obtained from the relevant authors Baseline and week 8
Primary Stroop Test The Stroop Test, which also measures the ability to change perceptual setup and response under disruptive influence, information processing speed and attention (especially selective attention).Increasing time and error indicates lower cognitive level. Baseline and week 8
Primary Clock Drawing Test Clock drawing test is an easy, quickly applicable, paper-and-pencil test with high validity and reliability used to evaluate visual-motor functions, planning, sequencing and abstract thinking skills. The Shulmann method will be used for scoring and this method evaluates out of a total of 5 points. An increase in the score indicates a better cognitive level. Baseline and week 8
Primary Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale - Part 3 It is the revised form developed in 1980, by the Movement Disorders Association in 2008. It is a revised version that will eliminate the uncertainties present in scale and include current scientific developments. The number of questions, which was 42 in scale, was increased to 50 , and questions with yes/no options were removed because they caused structural inconsistency, and all questions were scored between 0 and 4. In our study, only the 3rd Part, which includes the Motor examination, will be used. Baseline and week 8
