Summary

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a disease that affects the functional skills of the upper extremity with clinical findings such as bradykinesia, rigidity, and hypokinesia and causes limitations in the daily life activities of the patients. Task-oriented training (TOT) is a highly individualized, client-centered, occupational therapy, functional-based intervention compatible with motor learning and motor control principles such as intensive motor training, variable practice, and intermittent feedback. Few studies have been found on the TOT of the upper extremity in PD. Telerehabilitation of Parkinson's patients shows many strengths, such as cost-related and time-dependent ease, and the possibility of telecommunication with clinicians. In addition, the refinement of digital health solutions with the goal to offer a patient-tailored intervention remains an ongoing process. There are a limited number of studies on TOT and telerehabilitation of the upper extremity in PD. In addition, no studies have been found applying TOT through telerehabilitation. For this purpose, a study including TOT-based telerehabilitation in upper extremity education in PD was planned.
