Trial ID
NCT06646523
Official Title
Effects of Remotely Supervised Home-based High-speed Bodyweight Resistance Training on Bradykinesia in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Goal
Fast bodyweight training improves speed
Phase
NA
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
Federal University of Minas Gerais
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Enrollment
46 participants
Conditions
Parkinson Disease
Interventions
High-speed bodyweight resistance training, Control group (Bodyweight intervention, usual speed)

Plain-Language Summary

The goal is to reduce bradykinesia, the slowness and reduced quickness in movement that makes daily tasks and walking harder for people with Parkinson's. The approach uses remotely supervised, home-based high-speed bodyweight resistance training, meaning fast, powerful bodyweight movements done under video coaching to train muscles and the nervous system to activate more quickly and produce greater movement speed, while the control group does the same exercises at a usual, slower pace; participants continue their regular antiparkinsonian meds. The trial is looking for people 50 or older with Parkinson's at Hoehn and Yahr stages 1,3 who have measurable bradykinesia, are on stable medication, are inactive or insufficiently active, can walk without assistive devices, have internet and a caregiver to assist, and do not have major cognitive or other medical issues or deep brain stimulation.
