About this trial

This study aims to test whether patients with Parkinson's disease can safely and effectively use a home-based exercise program guided by videos. Participants will follow video instructions for exercises at home while their movements are monitored by a camera, which provides real-time feedback. The study will check how well participants complete the exercises, their satisfaction with the program, and any changes in clinical function. The goal is to see if this type of home exercise can help patients increase their activity levels without significant side effects.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adults aged 19 years or older, clinically diagnosed with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (PD) according to the Movement Disorder Society (MDS) clinical diagnostic criteria

Patients at Hoehn and Yahr stage 1-2.5

Patients on stable dopaminergic therapy with no changes in the past 1 month

Patients receiving Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) rehabilitation therapy once weekly as outpatients

Disqualifiers

Patients diagnosed with atypical parkinsonism

Patients with musculoskeletal problems that make participation in rehabilitation difficult

Patients who have limited access to the video-based home exercise feedback program

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Home-based self-exercise feedback program using video

    Behavioral

    Participants follow a 6-week home-based exercise program using video-guided instructions and the iPixel exercise feedback system, which monitors movements in real-time and provides corrective feedback. The program includes: Stretching exercises, Strength training, Balance exercises, Aerobic exercises, LSVT-specific exercises. Participants are instructed to complete sessions at least 5 times per week, 40 minutes per session. Additionally, weekly 30-minute in-person rehabilitation sessions are conducted to adjust the next week's exercise intensity based on each participant's functional level.
