Usability Study of a Neuropsychological Intervention Program Based on Virtual Reality in Adults With Parkinson's Disease
- Conditions
- Parkinson Disease
- Interventions
- Device: Intervention with virtual reality
- Registration Number
- NCT05403788
- Lead Sponsor
- Corporaci贸n de Rehabilitaci贸n Club de Leones Cruz del Sur
- Brief Summary
Nowadays, several strategies for treating neuropsychologic function loss in Parkinson disease (PD) have been proposed, such as physical activity performance and developing games to exercise the mind. However, few studies illustrate the incidence of these therapies in neuronal activity. This work aims to study the feasibility of a virtual reality-based program oriented to the cognitive functions' rehabilitation of PD patients. For this, the study was divided in intervention with the program, acquisition of signals, data processing and results analysis.
The study highlights implementing new technologies to rehabilitate people with neurodegenerative diseases.
- Detailed Description
Nowadays, several strategies for treating neuropsychologic function loss in Parkinson disease (PD) have been proposed, such as physical activity performance and developing games to exercise the mind. However, few studies illustrate the incidence of these therapies in neuronal activity. This work aims to study the feasibility of a virtual reality-based program oriented to the cognitive functions' rehabilitation of PD patients. For this, the study was divided in intervention with the program, acquisition of signals, data processing and results analysis. The alpha and beta bands power behaviour were determined by evaluating the electroencephalography (EEG) signals obtained during the execution of control tests and games of the "Hand Physics Lab" Software, from which five games related to attention, planning, sequencing, concentration, and coordination, were taken.
The study highlights implementing new technologies to rehabilitate people with neurodegenerative diseases.

Group Intervention Description Intervention with virtual reality Intervention with virtual reality Each subject will receive a single session of exercises with the OCULUS QUEST2 (OCULUS VR, USA) and a hand tracking software (Hand Physics Lab, Holonautic, Switzerland). Brain function monitoring will be made by an EEG system ENOBIO 20 (Neuro-electrics, Spain) positioned over subject head. Intervention consisted of exercises with upper limbs and visual feedback. These activities were projected stereoscopically on VR googles.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Power spectral density in the frequency of motor imagery from primary motor cortex Baseline continuous signals will be acquired from the primary motor cortex of lower limbs (FcZ, C2, Cz, C1, Cpz) according to the 10-20 International EEG System. Power spectral density in the frequency band of motor imagery (8-32Hz) will be obtained by OpenVibe Software and Matlab. The measure unit is Decibels per Hertz(dB/Hz).
