简要总结
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is one of the most frequent causes of motor dysfunction in aging.
It is therefore important to use rehabilitative therapeutic approaches that may prevent the development of motor complications when possible.
Imoove® is a device dedicated to rehabilitation and fitness and has the capacity to increase muscle tenfold.
The project is focused on quantifying the efficacy of IMOOVE® as a treatment method for improving joint mobility, posture and autonomy in PD.
详细描述
The pathogenesis of PD-related postural abnormalities is probably multifactorial as well as widely indefinite, and this could compromise treatment choices and efficacy. In addition to dystonia and rigidity, proprioceptive and sensorimotor disintegration as well as peripheral degenerative processes (myopathy, skeletal and soft tissue changes) have been proposed as causative factors of abnormal trunk postures.
When the body is educated in the Elispheric® movement it relearns the original vertebral motion, and postural control necessary for any action by the body, the professional can then perform effective vertebral reeducation.
The Elispheric® movements are created by a motorised plate. This unique technology impulses the body through a centrifugal force in three planes. This force trains the body in its natural spirals.
The performance result is based on the fact that Imoove restores the all freedom of movement, strength, precision and it works on the basic skeletal posture.
It is an exploratory study, in order to verify if the project is adequate, to establish its feasibility and to obtain information that allows to determine the size of the sample of the definitive study, 30 consecutive PD outpatients will be recruited for the IMOOVE® treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
MDS-UPDRS score
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Change in the motor symptoms evaluated with the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating scale (MDS-UPDRS). Each parkinsonian sign or symptom is rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale (ranging from 0 to 4), with higher scores indicating more severe impairment. The maximum total UPDRS score is 199, indicating the worst possible disability from PD.
次要结局
- EURO QOL-5D (EQ-5D)(through study completion, an average of 1 year)
