Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Timed Up and Go Test	10-15 seconds	Functional mobility is assessed by using the timed up and go test. The timed up and go test measures the time that a patient needs to stand up from a chair, walk a 3-m distance, come back and sit back on the chair.
10 Meter Walk Test	10-15 seconds	10 Meter Walk Test measures the time required to complete straight walk of 10 meters distance.
Purdue Pegboard Test	3-5 minutes	Purdue Pegboard Test assesses the speed and motor dexterity of each hand and the manual dexterity using both hands at the same time. The PPT consists of a board with two columns with 25 holes each and a specific number of pins, washers and collars placed in four containers across the top of the board.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Short-Form 8-Item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8)	1-2 minutes	The short-form 8-item Parkinson's disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8) is the most commonly used scale measuring health related quality of life (HRQoL) in PD patients. It includes 8 items, and each item has five options (never, occasionally, sometimes, often, always or cannot do at all). The total score ranges from 0 to 32. Higher scores indicates poorer quality of life.
Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale	1 minute	Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale allocates stages from 0 to 5 to indicate the relative level of disability and stage of disease. Higher level indicates worse physical condition.
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)	10-15 minutes	Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) will be used in order to evaluate cognition. It assesses different cognitive domains: attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuoconstructional skills, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation.It' score ranged from 0 to 30 and higher points indicates better cognitive outcomes.
