Effect of Body Suspension and Tilting Exercises in Parkinson's Disease

This study evaluates the effect of body suspension and tilting exercises (performed in Chordata apparatus) on the balance and mobility of subjects with Parkinson disease. Half of patients will perform the exercise protocol while the other half will receive passive muscle stretching and maintain the usual routine.

Panoramica dello studio

Descrizione dettagliata

Body suspension and tilting exercises performed in the Chordata equipment might be an effective option to improve trunk muscles activation and to facilitate functional balance and mobility control in Parkinson's disease (PD). To evaluate this hypothesis, subjects will be randomized into control group or intervention group. Intervention group will receive 30-minute session of body suspension and tilting exercises on the Chordata equipment (PI: 0804871-1 and BR 10 2012 009901-2) twice a week for eight weeks, while the control group will receive passive muscle stretching and maintained their usual routine during the same period. Both groups will be assessed at baseline and immediately after the intervention protocol. Finally, a follow-up evaluation will be performed 8 weeks after the protocol ending (to verify possible long-lasting effects of this exercise protocol).

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: Intervention group
Subjects submitted to a 30-minute session of suspension and tilting exercises on the Chordata equipment (PI: 0804871-1 and BR 10 2012 009901-2) twice a week for eight weeks.
The body suspension and tilting exercise program (Chordata Method) involved suspending the body in the apparatus while performing tilting exercises. The Chordata apparatus consists of a steel structure with special springs and a harness specifically manufactured for practicing the Chordata Method. During the training sessions, the prescribed exercises emphasize the repetition of movements designed to promote different types of muscle contractions (concentric, eccentric, static) performed in different body positions and joint angles. Thus, when using the method, patients experience maximal functional performance beyond to the body mass centre, activating trunk antagonist muscles and motor memory evocation. Each session lasts 30 minutes.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Timed Up and Go Test
Lasso di tempo: At 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol).
Measurement of the time in seconds for a person to rise from sitting from a standard arm chair, walk 3 meters, turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down. The person wears regular footwear and customary walking aid.
At 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol).

Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Berg Balance Test
Lasso di tempo: At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a widely used clinical test of a person's static and dynamic balance abilities. For functional balance tests, the BBS is generally considered to be the gold standard. The test takes 15-20 minutes and comprises a set of 14 simple balance related tasks, ranging from standing up from a sitting position, to standing on one foot. The degree of success in achieving each task is given a score of zero (unable) to four (independent), and the final measure is the sum of all of the scores.
At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
Functional Reach Test
Lasso di tempo: At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
The Functional Reach test can be administered while the patient is standing. The patient is instructed to next to, but not touching, a wall and position the arm that is closer to the wall at 90 degrees of shoulder flexion with a closed fist. The assessor records the starting position at the 3rd metacarpal head on the yardstick. Instruct the patient to "Reach as far as you can forward without taking a step." The location of the 3rd metacarpal is recorded in centimetre (cm). Scores are determined by assessing the difference between the start and end position is the reach distance. Three trials are done and the average of the last two is noted.
At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
Baropodometry (Stabilometric parameters)
Lasso di tempo: At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
In the test protocol adopted data uptake of the examination will be assessed walking on the pressure platform (dynamic measure) and stopped on the pressure platform with opened eyes (static measure).
At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)
Lasso di tempo: At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
The UPDRS is a rating tool to follow the longitudinal course of Parkinson's Disease. It is made up of the 1) Mentation, Behavior, and Mood, 2) ADL and 3) Motor sections. These are evaluated by interview. Some sections require multiple grades assigned to each extremity. A total of 199 points are possible. 199 represents the worst (total) disability), 0--no disability.
At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39)
Lasso di tempo: At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
The Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) is primarily used in clinical trials of therapeutics intended to benefit individuals with Parkinson's disease.
At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
Timed Up and Go Test
Lasso di tempo: At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
Measurement of the time in seconds for a person to rise from sitting from a standard arm chair, walk 3 meters, turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down. The person wears regular footwear and customary walking aid. The investigators will measure the "change" at different time frames.
At baseline, at 8th week (in the end of exercise protocol) and at 16th week (follow-up).
