Integrated Motor-Cognitive Training in Parkinson's Disease: A Feasibility Study (P_Feasibility)
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition characterized by both motor symptoms (such as bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, and postural instability) and non-motor symptoms, including cognitive impairments (affecting working memory, executive functions, and attention). Combined interventions that target both domains simultaneously or consecutively have shown potential to produce superior benefits compared to isolated motor or cognitive training.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, adherence, and preliminary clinical results of efficacy of an integrated and combined motor-cognitive rehabilitation training in patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
This feasibility study will enroll 12 participants with Parkinson's disease. All participants will undergo a comprehensive 10-session integrated rehabilitation program combining digital cognitive individual stimulation and group functional motor training. The primary focus is to assess acceptability, safety, and adherence to this combined approach, while secondary outcomes will observe changes in relevant cognitive and motor clinical variables.

Feasibility Outcomes: Digital Cognitive Progression Index (NeuronUP Activity Score)
Tidsramme: Monitored during every training session (Up to 4 weeks, from Sessions 1 through 10)
|
Digital Cognitive Progression Index (NeuronUP Activity Score) will be used to quantifies session-by-session cognitive performance and adaptive difficulty progression across the 10 training sessions. The score is calculated using NeuronUP's standardized algorithm based on accuracy, total completed phases, and maximum difficulty reached, yielding a score from 0 to 100. Higher scores reflect greater task proficiency and successful progression to higher difficulty levels. This metric serves as an exploratory/feasibility measure of intra-intervention cognitive learning. |
