Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Amplitude of Center of Pressure under simple conditions
Assessment of amplitude of Center of Pressure (in mm) during balance testing using OPAL Sensors (APDM, Oregon, USA).
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).
Amplitude of Center of Pressure under Dual Task conditions (Motor)
Assessment of amplitude of Center of Pressure (in mm) during balance testing under concurrent cognitive tasks (Motor, by holding a glass of water on a tray) using OPAL Sensors (APDM, Oregon, USA).
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).
Amplitude of Center of Pressure under Dual Task conditions (Arithmetic)
Assessment of amplitude of Center of Pressure (in mm) during balance testing under concurrent cognitive tasks (Arithmetic, by concurrently substracting 7 from a random number) using OPAL Sensors (APDM, Oregon, USA).
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).
Amplitude of Center of Pressure under Dual Task conditions (Verbal)
Assessment of amplitude of Center of Pressure (in mm) during balance testing under concurrent cognitive tasks (Verbal, by naming words starting by a random letter) using OPAL Sensors (APDM, Oregon, USA).
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).
Trail-Making Test
Assessment of Trail-Making Test parts A and B
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).
Secondary Outcomes (5)
United Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale - Part III
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).
Montreal Cognitive Assessment
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).
Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire - 8
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).
Timed Up and Go test
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).
Falls Efficacy Scale International
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).
