Summary

Parkinson's disease is a progressive, degenerative neurological disease manifested by motor and non-motor symptoms. Treatment for Parkinson's disease is symptom-oriented. Treatment options include medical treatment and surgical treatment, as well as physiotherapy and rehabilitation interventions. The LSVT-BIG protocol, a physiotherapy and rehabilitation intervention, aims to overcome the insufficient speed-amplitude regulation that leads to low scaling of motion amplitude at any speed in Parkinson's disease. The protocol is applied for four weeks, four days a week, and each session is one hour. Each treatment session consists of four parts: maximal daily exercises, functional component tasks, hierarchy tasks, and grand walking. Telerehabilitation is a system established for the online delivery of different rehabilitation services via telecommunication, and it has been reported that the LSVT-BIG protocol is a viable method with image-based video conferencing systems.

This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to examine the effect of the LSVT-BIG protocol on balance, gait, fatigue and quality of life. In this direction, thirty-four Parkinson's patients will be divided into two groups by randomization method after a preliminary evaluation including balance, gait, fatigue and quality of life variables. While the telerehabilitation-based LSVT-BIG protocol was applied to the experimental group for four weeks, no physiotherapy and rehabilitation interventions would be applied to the control group in addition to the medical treatment for the same period. At the end of four weeks, both groups will be evaluated again, including balance, gait, fatigue and quality of life variables. Evaluation data will be collected from patients through face-to-face evaluation methods and prepared questionnaires and scales. The obtained data will be evaluated using appropriate statistical methods using the SPSS statistical program.
