Conditions
Parkinson Disease
Physical Disability
Interventions
Device: IRMA
Registration Number
NCT05802498
Lead Sponsor
IRCCS Centro Neurolesi "Bonino-Pulejo"
Brief Summary

Comparison of two rehabilitation protocols in patients with Parkinson's disease and, therefore, identification of innovative rehabilitation protocols of proven and validated efficacy, through which it is possible to achieve:

* Improved joint function and gait pattern

* Reduction of the risk of falling or reduction of energy expenditure during physiological gait

Evaluation of the increase in maximal effort tolerance

· Improved cognitive performances

Evaluation of the impact on the quality of life of the patient and family members

Identification of morpho-functional markers predictive of clinical and rehabilitative out-come through neuroimaging study.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
irma groupIRMAThis group will perform 8 continuous weeks of treatment, 5 days a week, for a total of 180 minutes, including muscle stretching, increasing joint range with assisted passive and active mobilisation sessions of the scapulohumeral and pelvic girdles. Motor coordination exercises. Postural exercises with exercises for trunk control in sitting and standing with feedback and feed-forward technique. Gait training; gait training; proprioceptive exercises and static and dynamic balance maintenance in monopodalics; trunk muscle strengthening; postural exercises, muscle relaxation/relaxation, caterpillar release; re-education in postural transitions and transfers with fall prevention strategies. Prior to neuromotor rehabilitation treatment, the subjects will undergo rehabilitation training using the NIRVANA augmentative reality system.
