Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Timed Up and Go Test10-15 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 Test10-15 seconds

10 Meter Walk Test measures the time required to complete straight walk of 10 meters distance.

Purdue Pegboard Test3-5 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
NameTimeMethod
Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale1 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.

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.

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.
