Summary

The present study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of intelligent POWER therapy, intelligent LSVT-BIG therapy, and the three exercise models currently in clinical use. DCM\_IR analysis will also be incorporated into the analysis to develop a personalized and intelligent Parkinson's rehabilitative therapy platform.

Detailed description

Background: Parkinson's disease is a progressively degenerative disorder. Patients need early screening, therapeutic intervention, and personalized interaction with outpatient rehabilitative treatment. In the past, it had been difficult to meet these goals. Recent advances in bio-sensors technology has enabled collection of bio-metric data. Models of brainwave analysis have also matured. In addition, our ability to analyze vibrational spectrogram had also greatly improved. How to combine these enabling technologies to meet the needs of Parkinson's patients is an urgent topic of research. Objective: The present study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of intelligent POWER therapy, intelligent LSVT-BIG therapy, and the three exercise models currently in clinical use. DCM\_IR analysis will also be incorporated into the analysis to develop a personalized and intelligent Parkinson's rehabilitative therapy platform. Method: Patients will be randomly assigned into three groups, i.e. intelligent POWER, intelligent LSVT-BIG, and current protocol group. Single blind data collection will be used. Patients will be evaluated immediately before treatment, immediately after treatment, and 4 weeks after treatment. Evaluated criteria will include mini-BESTest, Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale, muscle power of lower extremity, time up and go, walk velocity, step length, cadence, and Parkinson's disease questionnaire PDQ-39. Expected Outcome: An intelligent rehabilitative therapy platform may be built on the sensor data and neural-network analysis of the data. The platform will enable patients to interact with medical personnel on out-patient basis. If further combined with DCM\_IR analysis, personalized therapeutic efficacy indicator may be uncovered, thereby, realizing intelligent personalized rehabilitative therapy.

Conditions

• Parkinson Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	LSVT-BIG	LSVT BIG can be delivered by a physical or occupational therapist. Treatment is administered in 16 sessions over a single month (four individual 60 minute sessions per week). This protocol was developed specifically to address the unique movement impairments for people with Parkinson disease. The protocol is both intensive and complex, with many repetitions of core movements that are used in daily living. This type of practice is necessary to optimize learning and carryover of your better movement into everyday life!
OTHER	POWER	Power Rehabilitation(PR), a new resistance training regime, can improve in power and independence level of the elderly people. The first word of PR was in brief of Produce Outcome Worthwhile for the Elderly Rehabilitation (POWER)
OTHER	Traditional rehabilitation	traditional exercise models in currently clinical use
