Brief Summary

Considering the impact of motor and non-motor findings on movement problems in the disease management of people living with PD, biopsychosocial evaluation and treatment approaches are essential. However, there are not many studies investigating the impact of a biopsychosocial-based exercise approach on the biopsychosocial characteristics of individuals in PD management. The Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach (BETY), an innovative exercise approach based on the biopsychosocial model, has been developed with the participation of individuals with rheumatism in exercise sessions for many years. This study investigated the effects of the BETY, a supervised biopsychosocial model-based exercise intervention, on cognitive status, physical activity, balance, and biopsychosocial status in people living with PD.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• BETY-Biopsychosocial Questionnaire

  Each question of the BETY-BQ consists of 30 items scored between 0-120 as '0 (never), 1 (yes rarely), 2 (yes sometimes), 3 (yes often), 4 (yes always)'. A high score indicates poor biopsychosocial status.

  Three months

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Beck Depression Scale (BECK-D)

  Three months

• International physical activity questionnaire-Short (IPAQ-Short)

  Three months

• Berg Balance Scale (BBS)

  Three months

• 8-Item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8)

  Three months

• Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)
