20.500.12556/DiRROS-20932 Post-physical therapy 4-month in-home dynamic standing protocol maintains physical therapy gains and improves mobility, balance confidence, fear of falling and quality of life in Parkinson’s disease a randomized controlled examiner-blinded feasibility clinical trial Objective: Parkinson’s patients will experience mobility disturbances with disease progression. Beneficial effects of physical therapy are short-lasting. Novel interventions are needed to maintain these benefits. Methods: Fourteen Parkinson’s patients (71±4.08 years) participated in a randomized controlled examiner-blinded feasibility clinical trial. After 12 physical therapy sessions, the intervention group received a height-adjustable desk that facilitates stepping while standing, for 4 months. Explorative outcome measures included MDS-UPDRS II, III, TUG, 8.5m walking test, PDQ-39, sABC, sFES, DEXA scans, and lower extremity strength. Results: Post-physical-therapy, everyone significantly improved on the MDS-UPDRS II, III, TUG, and 8.5m walking test, and PDQ-39. (p<0.05) After 4 months, the control group regressed towards pre-physical-therapy values. In the intervention group, sedentary behavior decreased beyond desk use, indicating a carry-over effect. MDS-UPDRS II, PDQ-39, sFES, sABC, TUG, 8.5m walking test, activity time, sitting time, hip strength all improved with clinically relevant effect sizes. Conclusion: Postphysical therapy in-home reduction of sedentary behavior was associated with maintenance of physical benefits and additional improvements in mobility, activity time, balance and quality of life Parkinson’s disease physical therapy sedentarism sarcopenia quality of life Parkinsonova bolezen fizioterapija sedeč način življenja sarkopenija kakovost življenja true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-12-05 08:59:36 2024-12-05 08:59:37 2024-12-10 09:20:30 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 5.12.2024; str. 267-280 iss. 4 Vol. 9 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 2024-11-14 0000-00-00 616.858 2459-4148 217739523 24_12_05_101_Marusic_217739523.pdf 24_12_05_101_Marusic_217739523.pdf 1 664668D8DCD918B257E258DB666EE9E4 5f1f2fdb9263da18e3bad34c696db69dbcc003654b217c56f8a064f07c47aad9 1371eebb-b2df-11ef-ba3f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=29605 https://www.jfsf.eu/Article.php?AID=v09i04_267 0 91731387-b6cf-11ef-ba3f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=29637 Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper / Centro di Ricerche Scientifiche Capodistria 0 0 0
