No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the study is to assess the role of Action Observation Treatment (AOT) and Motor Imagery (MI) in the rehabilitation of Parkinson's disease patients, as compared to a control condition. Main outcome measures will be the results in two functional scales (FIM, UPDRS) and kinematics parameters obtained from gait analysis. Data at two months and six months follow up, respectively, will be also collected.

Conditions

  • Parkinson

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

AOT

During action observation, participants observe different daily actions (e.g. reading a newspaper; drinking an espresso) divided into up to four motor segments.
