Effects of Telerehabilitation-Based Motor and Cognitive Dual-Task Exercise in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Yeditepe University30 enrolled

Overview

The ability to respond to multiple stimuli is impaired in Parkinson's patients. Traditional rehabilitation approaches focus only on balance and gait training, but individuals with Parkinson's disease need to perform multiple tasks in daily life.

The dual-task (DT) methodology aims to perform two tasks simultaneously. There is no study in which motor and cognitive dual-task exercises are given together and followed up remotely in elderly individuals with PD. Therefore, it was aimed to compare the effects of telerehabilitation method and motor and cognitive dual-task exercises on cognitive function, balance, walking, fall risk and quality of life in individuals with Parkinson's Disease.
