Conditions
Parkinson Disease
Interventions
Behavioral: Physical training
Registration Number
NCT05685095
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Grenoble
Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled pilot trial is to assess the impact of different gait rehabilitation programs on the level of physical activity and gait in daily life in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Two groups of 25 patients with PD will benefit from one of two gait training programs (treadmill vs. nordic walking), 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Activity level and number of steps will be remotely recorded over 7 days before, at the end, 3 and 6 months after the end of the program. Quality of life will be recorded at each time point.

The impact of the gait programs on the patients' level of daily activity will be examined, comparing the changes brought about by the two programs, taking into account the modulating influence of age and cognitive function.

Gait under conditions of daily life will be compared to gait parameters collected in the laboratory.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Nordic walkingPhysical trainingThe training program will last 12 weeks and consist of Nordic walking, taught and supervised by an adapted physical activity teacher. The session will be carried out outside, weather permitting. When possible, training will gather 2 to 4 patients for group emulation. The duration of the walking bouts (and pauses) will be adjusted to follow the patients' progress.
Treadmill walkingPhysical trainingThe training program will last 12 weeks and consist of treadmill walking. The duration of the walking bouts (and pauses), and the speed of the belt will be adjusted as needed following the patients' progress. Music will be added as suited to boost motivation and support regular cadence. All training sessions will be supervised.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in daily energy expenditurerecording 7 days in a row, at 3 months, 6 months and 9 months.

Evolution over time of the daily energy expenditure together with number of steps, as recorded using an actimeter worn at the belt.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evolution of exercise functional capacity3 months, 6 months and 9 months.

Evolution over time of the patients' performance at the 6 minutes walk test

Evolution over time of the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 scale score.3 months, 6 months and 9 months.

Evolution of quality of life as measured using the PDQ.39 scale. Summed item scores expressed as percent. Min 0 Max 100.

Evolution over time of the Parkinsons' Disease Fatigue Scale score.3 months, 6 months and 9 months.

Evolution of fatigue as measured using the PD Fatigue scale. Min 0. Max 80. Greater score means greater fatigue

Evolution of gait parameters3 months, 6 months and 9 months.

Evolution over time of spatio-temporal gait parameters recorded during a gait test in the laboratory.

Adherence to the training program3 months
