Brief Summary

Whole-body periodic acceleration (WBPA) is a new, non-invasive, and promising therapy for a diverse and growing list of disorders including cardiovascular disease. During WBPA, patients lie in the supine position on a bed that is capable of translating back and forth parallel to the ground, along the head-to-foot axis of the patient. Thus, this treatment is best described as a form of "passive exercise." The frequency of the translation (up to 180 cycles/minute; cpm) as well as the distance traveled (2-24mm) by the bed can be adjusted by the patient or health care professional. The science behind the therapeutic effects of WBPA still remains largely unknown. The investigators are observing how WBPA may impact on sleep and activity in individuals with Parkinson's disease.

Conditions

Sleep Disorders; Physical Activity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Sleep patterns using an activity monitor on the wrist

  The investigators will record sleep patterns a week before WBPA through out the 4 weeks of WBPA and then one week post WBPA using an activity monitor on the wrist

  6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

  6 weeks

• Physical Activity (steps per day using an activity monitor on the wrist)

  6 weeks

Whole Body Periodic Acceleration

EXPERIMENTAL

Whole-body periodic acceleration (WBPA) is a new, non-invasive, and promising therapy for a diverse and growing list of disorders including cardiovascular disease 6. During WBPA, patients lie in the supine position on a bed that is capable of translating back and forth parallel to the ground, along the head-to-foot axis of the patient. Thus, this treatment is best described as a form of "passive exercise." The frequency of the translation is 120 cycles/minute; cpm) as well as a distance traveled 16 mm.

Device: Whole Body Periodic Acceleration

Interventions

Whole Body Periodic Acceleration DEVICE

oscillating bed that the subject will lie on 3 days a week for 45 minutes at 140 cycles per minute.
