NCT05802498

Brief Summary

Comparison of two rehabilitation protocols in patients with Parkinson's disease and, therefore, identification of innovative rehabilitation protocols of proven and validated efficacy, through which it is possible to achieve:

  • Improved joint function and gait pattern
  • Reduction of the risk of falling or reduction of energy expenditure during physiological gait Evaluation of the increase in maximal effort tolerance · Improved cognitive performances Evaluation of the impact on the quality of life of the patient and family members Identification of morpho-functional markers predictive of clinical and rehabilitative out-come through neuroimaging study.

Study Arms (2)

control GROUP

NO INTERVENTION

This group will perform 8 continuous weeks of treatment, 5 days a week, for a total of 180 minutes, including muscle stretching, joint range increase with passive and active assisted mobilization sessions of the scapulohumeral and pelvic girdles. Motor coordination exercises. Postural exercises with exercises for trunk control in sitting and standing positions with feedback and feed-forward techniques. gait training; gait training; proprioceptive exercises and exercises to maintain static and dynamic balance in monopodalica; strengthening of trunk muscles; postural exercises, muscle relaxation/stretching, release of the tracks; re-education in postural passages and transfers with fall prevention strategies.

EXPERIMENTAL

This group will perform 8 continuous weeks of treatment, 5 days a week, for a total of 180 minutes, including muscle stretching, increasing joint range with assisted passive and active mobilisation sessions of the scapulohumeral and pelvic girdles. Motor coordination exercises. Postural exercises with exercises for trunk control in sitting and standing with feedback and feed-forward technique. Gait training; gait training; proprioceptive exercises and static and dynamic balance maintenance in monopodalics; trunk muscle strengthening; postural exercises, muscle relaxation/relaxation, caterpillar release; re-education in postural transitions and transfers with fall prevention strategies. Prior to neuromotor rehabilitation treatment, the subjects will undergo rehabilitation training using the NIRVANA augmentative reality system.

Device: IRMA

Interventions

IRMADEVICE

For patients in an advanced state of illness, advanced neuromotor rehabilitation treatment included 1) robot therapies, 2) specific water courses (e.g. walking pools, hydrokinesiotherapy pools, etc.), 3) advanced cognitive treatments (e.g. virtual reality courses); 4) augmentative immersive therapy in a virtual environment; 5) courses also dedicated to social reintegration and inclusive activities (theatre-therapy, art-therapy, dance-therapy, agro-therapy, etc.).
