High Intensity Resistance Exercise

Summary For Families

The trial aims to adapt high-intensity resistance exercise plus sleep-monitoring tech for safe home use in Parkinson's, to boost muscle strength, improve mobility and daily function, and track whether better sleep supports recovery. Participants follow remotely supervised, high-intensity resistance workouts that increase muscle strength and neuromuscular control to help tasks like standing and walking, while wearable sleep monitors record sleep quality and recovery; the program is meant to complement Parkinson's medications rather than replace them. Adults 18 and older with Parkinson's who live with less than minimal assistance and have internet plus a video-capable device are being recruited. People with uncontrolled heart or lung disease, major musculoskeletal injury, high fall risk, frequent structured community exercise, or who fail safety or cognitive screening are excluded.

How long does the trial last?
This trial is estimated to last approximately 8 months.
Can I leave the trial if I change my mind?
Yes. You can withdraw from any clinical trial at any time, for any reason, without affecting your standard medical care. Trials are voluntary by law. The team may ask if you are willing to do a brief exit visit so they can collect safety information, but you are not obligated.
Can my spouse or care partner come with me to visits?
In most cases yes, and it is often encouraged. Care partners can help with notes, questions, and getting home safely after a long visit. Some study assessments do need to happen one on one, but care partners are usually welcome for the rest of the appointment.
Will I get a placebo in this trial?
Everyone in this trial receives the experimental treatment. There is no placebo group.
