Conditions: Parkinson Disease, Physical Activity, eHealth, Gait Disorders, Neurologic
Interventions: Motor-cognitive home exercise supported by eHealth technology, Individualized home exercise program
Countries: Sweden
This study aims to determine the effects of a motor-cognitive exercise intervention, delivered in the home environment using eHealth methods, among people with Parkinson's disease. The intervention will support and motivate motor training, combined with cognitive training, aimed at attentional and executive functions, among people at mild-moderate disease stages. The main hypothesis is that unsupervised motor-cognitive training in the home environment using eHealth will lead to improvements in gait performance, increased physical activity levels and improved perceived health.
