Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Cognitive Status with Montreal Cognitive Assessment
Time Frame: Change from Baseline at 8 weeks
its validity and reliability in Turkish have been established. The total score ranges from 0-30, and a higher score indicates a better cognitive status. Below 21 points indicates cognitive impairment.
Upper extremities performance with Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test
Time Frame: Change from Baseline at 8 weeks
It involves taking small disc-shaped objects, each of standard size, to different distances on the table in the shortest possible time and placing them in sequence, while the patient is in a sitting position with a table in front of him/her.
Upper extremities performance with 9 hole peg test
Time Frame: Change from Baseline at 8 weeks
The patient sits with a table in front of him/her and places 9 small wooden sticks on the surface with nine holes on them, takes them out again and lays them on his/her side. He/she is asked to do it as quickly as possible and his/her time is saved
Trunk Functions with Trunk Impairment Scale
Time Frame: Change from Baseline at 8 weeks
It is a valid and reliable scale for evaluating the motor disorders and balance of the trunk in Parkinson's patients. The total score in the scale, which consists of 17 items in 3 sections, ranges from 0 to 23. A higher score indicates better trunk function and balance.
Secondary Outcomes
- Disease severity and symptoms with Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale Part 2 and 3(Change from Baseline at 8 weeks)
- Quality of life with Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire(Change from Baseline at 8 weeks)
- Balance and mobility with Timed Up and Go Test(Change from Baseline at 8 weeks)
- Dynamic balance with functional reach test(Change from Baseline at 8 weeks)
