Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine physical activity and exercise behaviors in people with Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis over the course of 1-year using a cloud-based remote monitoring platform.

Detailed Description

Remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) is a reimbursable clinical service. Pilot investigation conducted by our lab demonstrated promise that this service is feasible to add to clinical care. It is unclear still if RTM is able to provide clinical benefit to patients including improving and sustaining physical activity (PA) and exercise behaviors over a longer period of time (\>1 year). Our central hypothesis is that the addition of RTM to physical activity, both in a skilled rehabilitation program and within a home program, will improve long term outcomes related to physical activity including self-efficacy for exercise, consistent participation in home exercise recommendations, and quality of life in people living with PD and MS. Thus the specific aims of this study are as follows:

1. To assess PA and exercise behaviors over 1-year period using a remote therapeutic monitoring platform

a. We will track steps per day, minutes of aerobic activity per week, and frequency of workouts including flexibility, balance, and resistance training.

2. To understand how engagement with RTM for PA tracking affects overall self-efficacy for exercise, readiness for exercise behavior change, and quality of life.

1. Assessed through monthly self-report of usability survey for RTM and self-efficacy for exercise survey.

Remote Therapeutic MonitoringActivity MonitoringParticipants will receive 1 year of remote therapeutic monitoring via a connected health app and personal activity tracker to monitor their physical activity and exercise behaviors.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Physical Activity Metric 1Daily, through study completion, average 1 year

steps per day

Physical Activity Metric 2Daily, through study completion, average 1 year

Minutes of aerobic physical activity per day (moderate to vigorous physical activity)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of Life from PROMIS 10-bCompleted every 3 months, through study completion, average of 1 year

PROMIS 10-b short form which is 10 items measuring mobility difficulty, scores are summed and then translated to t-score.

Quality of Life from PROMIS-29Completed every 3 months, through study completion, average of 1 year

PROMIS-29 measures seven health domains (physical function, fatigue, pain interference, depressive symptoms, anxiety, ability to participate in social roles and sleep disturbance).

Exercise Self EfficacyCompleted every other month, through study completion, average of 1 year

sums of 9 items with total scores ranging from 0-90; higher scores indicating higher self-efficacy.
