Summary

This study aim to evaluate the (1) feasibility of a novel mobile application ( Combat PD) that support a home-based gamified aerobic exercise program in individuals with mild Parkinson's disease (PD).

The study aims to further explore (2) the effectiveness of Combat PD in improving adherence to prescribed home-based exercise program; and (3) the clinical effectiveness if combat PD in improving motor and non-motor function in PD.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Combat PD

CombatPD is an aerobic exercise programme hosted on a mobile application that pairs with motion sensors and heart rate monitor, which connects to a web-based portal for remote monitoring. The wearable sensors consist of (i) 2 motion sensors worn across one thigh and attached to an exercise ring which is held by the participant during the exergame and (ii) 1 heart rate sensor worn across the participant's chest. They will receive once weekly physiotherapy sessions at the study site for the first 4 weeks where they will be guided through the use of the CombatPD. Participants will be instructed to perform 2 sessions of 30-minute exergames in addition to a session of 30-minute brisk walking every week for 12 weeks at home. They will be instructed to exercise at a target heart rate zone at moderate intensity (i.e., 40% - 60% Heart Rate Reserve), which will be gradually increased.

BEHAVIORAL

Usual Care

Participants in the control group (usual care) will receive once weekly physiotherapy sessions for first 2 weeks and another session at week 6 where they will be taught home exercises based on a standard PD exercise booklet, consisting mainly of range of motion and stretching exercises , as well as brisk walking techniques. Participants in the control group will be instructed to perform these home exercises twice a week, in addition to a 30-minute brisk walk for 12 weeks.
