Summary

Home-based exercise program focusing on axial rigidity could be used as an adjunct rehabilitation program to improve rotational movement, gait and functional movement associated with axial rigidity in individuals with PD.

Detailed description

Typically, individuals with PD revert to more primitive movement patterns, which lack many of the automatic postural adjustments and axial movements that accompany simple activities, such as supine to standing, getting up from sitting or turning over in bed. The present study is designed to allow patients and their relatives to perform exercises by themselves conveniently at home. The results were considered a vital component of a complex intervention and were played an integral part in the implementation process of exercises in functional performance. Furthermore, this study will prove sufficient high-quality evidence to investigate whether improvements in function due to exercise-based rehabilitation are associated with reducing axial rigidity in individuals with PD. Currently, there is a lack of evidence for the effectiveness of home-based exercise programs in PD patients in Thailand. For the present study, we devised a home-based 10-week exercise program focusing on segmental rotation and task-specific movements for turning practice to determine effects on axial mobility and turning. The aimed of this study to examine the effects of a 10-week task specific home-based exercise program on turning kinematics, gait and stepping characteristics, the Functional Reach test (FRT), the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), the Freezing of Gait questionnaire (FOG) and the Fall Efficacy Scale International (FES-I) in individuals with PD.
