December 1, 2020 updated by: Elvan ÖZCAN GÜLŞEN, Hacettepe University

Examining The Change of Upper and Lower Extremity Skills With The Effect of Dual Task in Parkinson's Disease Patients

The aim of the study is to investigate the change of lower and upper extremity skills with dual task in Parkinson's disease patients and to determine the differences between Parkinson's disease patients with different stages of disease and the healthy controls regarding the change of lower and upper extremity skills with dual task.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Timed Up and Go Test
Time Frame: 10-15 seconds
Functional mobility is assessed by using the timed up and go test. The timed up and go test measures the time that a patient needs to stand up from a chair, walk a 3-m distance, come back and sit back on the chair.
10-15 seconds
10 Meter Walk Test
Time Frame: 10-15 seconds
10 Meter Walk Test measures the time required to complete straight walk of 10 meters distance.
10-15 seconds
Purdue Pegboard Test
Time Frame: 3-5 minutes
Purdue Pegboard Test assesses the speed and motor dexterity of each hand and the manual dexterity using both hands at the same time. The PPT consists of a board with two columns with 25 holes each and a specific number of pins, washers and collars placed in four containers across the top of the board.
3-5 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale
Time Frame: 1 minute
Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale allocates stages from 0 to 5 to indicate the relative level of disability and stage of disease. Higher level indicates worse physical condition.
1 minute
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
Time Frame: 10-15 minutes
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) will be used in order to evaluate cognition. It assesses different cognitive domains: attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuoconstructional skills, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation.It' score ranged from 0 to 30 and higher points indicates better cognitive outcomes.
10-15 minutes
Short-Form 8-Item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8)
Time Frame: 1-2 minutes
The short-form 8-item Parkinson's disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8) is the most commonly used scale measuring health related quality of life (HRQoL) in PD patients. It includes 8 items, and each item has five options (never, occasionally, sometimes, often, always or cannot do at all). The total score ranges from 0 to 32. Higher scores indicates poorer quality of life.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
