Measure dance exercise energy expenditure
- Trial ID
- NCT06425731
- Official Title
- Characterizing Dance-related Physical Activity Behaviors Among Adults Living With Parkinson's Disease for Automated Analyses of Energy Expenditure
- Goal
- Measure dance exercise energy expenditure
- Phase
- NA
- Status
- RECRUITING
- Sponsor
- Northeastern University
- Study Type
- INTERVENTIONAL
- Enrollment
- 60 participants
- Conditions
- Parkinson Disease
- Interventions
- Fasting, No Intervention
Plain-Language Summary
The aim is to map how people with Parkinson's move during Dance for PD classes so researchers can develop automated tools that more accurately estimate energy expenditure and calories burned from dance. Volunteers are monitored during dance sessions while researchers collect movement and metabolic data, with some sessions done fasting to get baseline metabolic readings, so the team can link specific dance patterns to energy use. They are looking for adults 18 to 85 with neurologist-confirmed idiopathic Parkinson's at Hoehn and Yahr stage 3 or lower who are already enrolled in Dance for PD classes; people with severe medical, respiratory, or metabolic conditions, implanted devices, active smoking, pregnancy, or low cognitive screening scores are excluded.
