Overview
Brief Summary
This study was planned to investigate the contribution of dual task interference on dexterity related ADL disability in patients with Parkinson's disease. We hypothesised that the dual task interference is an indicator of dexterity related ADL difficulties.
Detailed Description
We planned this study as a cross sectional trial. 53 patients with Parkinson's disease will be evaluated under 2 different task by nine hole peg test. Besides this assessment the cardinal symptoms (bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity) will be evaluated to determine their contribution on the ADL performance.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Nine hole peg test
Time Frame: 5 minutes
The Nine-Hole Peg Test is used to measure finger dexterity in patients with various neurological diagnoses. The patient must pick up the pegs from the holes and replace them back as fast as possible. The Nine Hole Peg Test should be conducted with the dominant arm first, then nondominant hand. The time will be recorded in second to complete the test. The test will be performed under three task; 1. single task: Only nine-hole peg test 2. adding a cognitive task: Nine-hole peg test will be performed with a concurrent cognitive task. The cognitive task is a serial 7 subtraction from numbers changed between 290 and 310 during the performing nine-hole peg test. The time will be recorded.
ADL-related dexterity Questionnaire 24 (DextQ-24)
Time Frame: 10 minutes
Dexterity-related ADL difficulties were measured by the ADL-related dexterity Questionnaire 24 (DextQ-24), including 24 question dealing with bimanual and unimanual activities, which is a reliable and valid disease specific questionnaire to evaluate dexterity in patients with PD. Each question is scored between 1 (no problems) and 4 (need aid to perform task) by the patient's experience. Total score ranged from 24 points to 96 points.
Secondary Outcomes
- Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) - Section of Activities of Daily Living (ADL)(10 minutes)
- Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) - Motor Section(10 minutes)
- Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale(2 minutes)
