Brief Summary

The overarching aim is to determine the benefits of Parkinson-specific exercise programs and general exercise patterns on physical function and disease-related quality of life among people with Parkinson Disease (PD). The significance of this project is that millions of individuals experience adverse consequences of PD and there is strong evidence that structured exercise programs have beneficial effects on motor function and PD-related quality of life. Participation in this study involves online surveys upon enrollment (i.e., baseline) and at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, and 2 years.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Association between exercise patterns and quality of life

  Association between exercise patterns (including exercise type and frequency) and quality of life, as assessed by the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). The score range for the PDQ-39 is 0 to 100, with lower scores reflecting higher quality of life.

  Baseline

• Association between exercise patterns and mobility

  Association between exercise patterns (including exercise type and frequency) and mobility, as assessed by the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QOL) questionnaire. The Neuro-QOL short form domain on Lower Extremity Function - Mobility will be used. The score range for the Neuro-QOL Mobility domain is 8 to 40, with higher scores reflecting a higher level of lower extremity function and mobility (i.e., better self-reported health).

  Baseline

• Association between exercise patterns and well-being

  Association between exercise patterns (including exercise type and frequency) and well-being, as assessed by the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QOL) questionnaire. The Neuro-QOL short form domain on Positive Affect and Well-Being will be used. The score range for the Neuro-QOL Positive Affect and Well-Being domain is 9 to 45, with higher scores reflecting a higher level of well-being.

  Baseline

• Association between exercise patterns and quality of life

  Association between exercise patterns (including exercise type and frequency) and quality of life, as assessed by the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). The score range for the PDQ-39 is 0 to 100, with lower scores reflecting higher quality of life.

  2 years

• Association between exercise patterns and mobility

  Association between exercise patterns (including exercise type and frequency) and mobility, as assessed by the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QOL) questionnaire. The Neuro-QOL short form domain on Lower Extremity Function - Mobility will be used. The score range for the Neuro-QOL Mobility domain is 8 to 40, with higher scores reflecting a higher level of lower extremity function and mobility (i.e., better self-reported health).

  2 years

• Association between exercise patterns and well-being

  Association between exercise patterns (including exercise type and frequency) and well-being, as assessed by the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QOL) questionnaire. The Neuro-QOL short form domain on Positive Affect and Well-Being will be used. The score range for the Neuro-QOL Positive Affect and Well-Being domain is 9 to 45, with higher scores reflecting a higher level of well-being.
