Summary For Families
It looks at whether a person’s ability to imagine movements, awareness of internal body signals, fear of moving, activity level, and symptom severity are linked to physical frailty in Parkinson's. Participants will answer questionnaires and do simple physical tests during a single visit so researchers can compare these measures. The study seeks people aged 40 to 85 with a clinical Parkinson's diagnosis in early to mid stages (Hoehn and Yahr stages 1 to 3) who can follow instructions and have a Mini-Mental State Examination score of 24 or higher. People with major depression or psychosis, advanced dementia, serious heart or lung disease, uncontrolled chronic illnesses, other neurologic or orthopedic problems that affect testing, or severe vision or hearing loss are not eligible.
