Summary

Introduction: Home rehabilitation is a form of care that is part of most health systems. Patients with Parkinson's disease can be referred to these Home Rehabilitation Services given the characteristics of the pathology they suffer. Objective: know and analyse the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of patients with Parkinson's disease referred to a Home Rehabilitation Service belonging to health Area V of Gijón, Asturias, Spain. Study Design: This project proposes an observational and retrospective study. Study population: The subjects that will be part of this study will be men and women with Parkinson's disease who have been referred to the Home Rehabilitation Service from 2015 to 2021.

Detailed description

Introduction: Home-based rehabilitation is a care modality that is part of most healthcare systems. In most cases, patients are referred from hospitals, by the rehabilitation services themselves or by the specialist physicians who have treated them. Patients who may be candidates for home rehabilitation often have difficulties in accessing a hospital or outpatient centre independently, due to difficulty in walking and/or architectural barriers within or outside the home, so that in order to travel to outpatient centres, they need means of transport such as ambulances, which entails high costs. Patients with Parkinson's Disease can be referred to these Home Rehabilitation Services. Objectives: General: Know and analyse the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of patients with Parkinson's Disease referred to a Home Rehabilitation Service belonging to the Health Area V of Gijón. Specific: Assess the distribution of patients by age group, sex, social conditions and degree of functional impairment. Find out the time needed for recovery or completion of treatment, as well as the criteria for discharge. Obtain information on the social assessment and architectural barriers of Parkinson's disease patients referred to a Home Rehabilitation Service. Study design: The present project proposes to carry out an observational, ex post facto, retrospective study. The subjects who will be part of this study will be men and women with Parkinson's disease who have been referred to the Home Rehabilitation Service from 2015 to 2021. Available data from the entire population of patients with Parkinson's disease who meet the inclusion criteria will be analysed. Limitations: The limitations of the present study are that the patients will be analysed within a specific setting, such as a Home Rehabilitation Service, so it is possible that some results cannot be generalized.
