Golf Instruction Versus Tai Chi for People With Parkinson's Disease

2. september 2020 opdateret af: Anne-Marie Alexandra Wills, MD, Massachusetts General Hospital

Feasibility and Tolerability of Group Golf Instruction Versus Tai Chi for Patients With Moderate to Advanced Parkinson's Disease

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and tolerability of golf instruction for participants with moderate to advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Other forms of exercise have been shown to be beneficial for PD. Golf is a low impact sport that utilizes balance and strength. Currently, there are no data looking at the effects of golf on PD. This pilot study aims to test the effects of golf in the PD patient population, particularly its effect on balance. In this study, we will be comparing group golf instruction to group Tai Chi lessons (the gold standard balance exercise for patients with PD).

Studieoversigt

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Approximately, 40-50 participants with Parkinson's Disease (H&Y stage 2 to 3) will be enrolled in this study. Participants who provide informed consent will be randomized 1:1 to either group golf instruction or group Tai Chi classes. Participants will be evaluated before and after the intervention with a battery of cognitive, motor and balance assessments including the UPDRS, the Mini-BESTest of balance, and timed up and go tests. They will participate in classes twice weekly for 10 weeks which will be provided free of charge. At the end of the intervention period they will repeat the assessments. The primary outcomes of the study are feasibility and tolerability. The key secondary objectives are to measure the efficacy of golf instruction on measures of balance, risk of falls.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Golf
Group golf lessons will be led by professional golf instructors.
Subjects will participate in two weekly hour-long golf classes. Classes will be led by professional golf instructors that will work with individuals to teach participants how to play golf. This will include stretching, individual coaching, and working with participants to maximize their golf swing.
Aktiv komparator: Tai Chi
Group Tai Chi classes led by a certified Tai Chi instructor.
Tai Chi is an ancient martial art that uses meditative movement to improve strength, flexibility, and balance. Subjects will participate in two weekly hour-long Tai Chi classes.The class will be led by a certified Tai Chi instructor and consist of approximately 12 people.

Tidsramme
Tolerability of group golf instruction compared to Tai Chi
Tidsramme: Both interventions will continue for 10 weeks and subject participation rates will be recorded during this time.
The number of participants who complete 10 weeks in the study will be measured using weekly attendance sheets. We will consider the intervention to be tolerable if the proportion of participants who withdraw consent prior to the end of the study is less than 40% with 80% confidence.
Both interventions will continue for 10 weeks and subject participation rates will be recorded during this time.

Tidsramme: Both interventions will continue for 10 weeks and any adverse events will be recorded during this time.
The frequency of treatment-related adverse events including falls will be summarized by treatment group and system organ class by CTCAE v 4.0
Both interventions will continue for 10 weeks and any adverse events will be recorded during this time.
Key Secondary objectives are to measure the efficacy of golf instruction compared to Tai Chi on measures of balance.
Tidsramme: Both interventions will continue for 10 weeks. The Mini-BESTest will be performed by a blinded rater before and after the intervention period.
The Mini-BESTest will be used to measure balance before and after the intervention. The Mini-BESTest is scored from 0-28 where lower scores are better.
Both interventions will continue for 10 weeks. The Mini-BESTest will be performed by a blinded rater before and after the intervention period.
Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale
Tidsramme: Both interventions will continue for 10 weeks. Participants will complete the questionnaire before and after the intervention period.
This is a self-reported measure of confidence in performing various ambulatory activities without falling. The scale is out of 100
Both interventions will continue for 10 weeks. Participants will complete the questionnaire before and after the intervention period.
