Seoul National University Hospital15 enrolled

Overview

This study aims to test whether patients with Parkinson's disease can safely and effectively use a home-based exercise program guided by videos. Participants will follow video instructions for exercises at home while their movements are monitored by a camera, which provides real-time feedback. The study will check how well participants complete the exercises, their satisfaction with the program, and any changes in clinical function. The goal is to see if this type of home exercise can help patients increase their activity levels without significant side effects.

Interventions

Participants follow a 6-week home-based exercise program using video-guided instructions and the iPixel exercise feedback system, which monitors movements in real-time and provides corrective feedback. The program includes: Stretching exercises, Strength training, Balance exercises, Aerobic exercises, LSVT-specific exercises. Participants are instructed to complete sessions at least 5 times per week, 40 minutes per session. Additionally, weekly 30-minute in-person rehabilitation sessions are conducted to adjust the next week's exercise intensity based on each participant's functional level.
