Summary For Families
The study wants to know whether different ways of doing arm and hand exercises, including single-task training, clinic-based dual-task training, and two kinds of tele-rehabilitation dual-task training, lead to different results for movement symptoms, hand dexterity, arm function, grip strength, thinking skills, daily activities, and how satisfied people are with treatment. Participants will do the exercise sessions at the clinic or at home twice a week for about 60 minutes each, over six weeks, with assessments before and after the training. Researchers will also compare how satisfied people are with telemedicine between the two tele-rehabilitation approaches. The study plans to enroll about 40 people aged 40 and older who were diagnosed with Parkinson's by a neurologist using the UK Brain Bank criteria, who are at stage 3 or higher on the Hoehn-Yahr scale (moderate or advanced disease), and who have a caregiver and the device and software for remote video calls; people with significant cognitive impairment, prior deep brain stimulation surgery, other neurological diseases, sensory or perception problems, or conditions that affect hand function cannot join.
