Brief Summary

Parkinson Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder who begin around 55 years old, characterized by brain's backmatter's dopamine neuron destruction, involved in motor control. Diagnosis is made with presence of 3 of 4 disease's cardinal sign: bradykinesia, rigidity, resting tremor, walking troubles. Treatments enhance patient's quality of life, but do not allow to stop disease's evolution, who is specific depending on a lot of factors. For some years, PD's non motor symptoms (NMS) - in particular pain, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders - have been highlighted and turn out to impair sometimes quality of life even though motor symptoms are controlled. This project's main aim is to evaluate if aquatic environment's care lead to an advantage on PD's NMS, symptoms currently underestimated, insufficiently in care and having a harmful influence on quality of life. Collaboration of the University Hospital (Neurology Dpt), the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Regional Institute, Grand Nancy Thermal, and France Parkinson Association, will allow in this way to offer on PD's NMS, postural control impairments, and walking troubles an alternative or further non-pharmacological therapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change of score on Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire 39 (PDQ 39) after reeducation

    Total score to PDQ 39 (between 0 and 156, a lower score being a better outcome), which evaluates quality of life, before and after reeducation

    Day 1, day 28 (+7)

Secondary Outcomes (17)

  • Persistence of change of score on PDQ 39 after reeducation

    Day 28(+7), day 56 (+/-7)

  • PDQ 39 sub-scores

    Day 1, day 28 (+7), day 56 (+/-7)

  • Non-Motors Signs (NMS) Questionnaire score

    Day 1, day 28 (+7), day 56 (+/-7)

  • Parkinson Anxiety Scale (PAS) score

    Day 1, day 28 (+7), day 56 (+/-7)

  • Parkinson's Disease specific Pain score

    Day 1, day 28 (+7), day 56 (+/-7)

  • +12 more secondary outcomes

Interventions

Rehabilitation sessions using hydrophysiotherapy will occur in a pool of Grand Nancy Thermal, three times per week during 4 weeks, and each will last 45 min. They will begin with 10 min of warm-up, then 30 min of walking. Sessions will end cool-down during 5 min, which will be a reduction of intensity every 30 sec. Rehabilitation will be carried out by physiotherapist chosen for the study.

Also known as: Hydrophysiotherapy
Aquatic rehabilitation

Rehabilitation sessions on treadmill will occur at Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Regional Institute (IRR), on the University Hospital's site, three times per week during 4 weeks, and each will last 45 min. They will begin with 10 min of warm-up, then 30 min of walking, where intensity of effort can be modulated by speed and inclination of treadmill. Sessions will end cool-down during 5 min, which will be a reduction of intensity every 30 sec. Rehabilitation will be carried out by physiotherapist chosen for the study.

Land based physical activities

Conventional rehabilitation sessions will occur in private practices in which patients receive their habitual care (same physiotherapist). This care will be guided by prescription delivered by the neurologist. This prescription suggests to work on active and passive upper and lower limb stretching, on hip and shoulder dissociation, and balance control management on unstable ground.
