简要总结
The purpose of this exploratory single-blinded feasibility study is to explore the effects of a lateral stepping program integrated into an existing community-based group exercise program for people with PD. The researchers hypothesize that participation in a lateral stepping program a minimum of 2 times/week for 8 weeks, in addition to RSB class participation is feasible in middle to late stage PD and will decrease fall risk factors. The researchers also hypothesize that the integration of this program into an existing community-based RSB program will be deemed feasible as shown by the number of sessions attended by each participant.

结局指标
主要结局
The Four-Square Step Test
时间窗: less than 5 minutes
Validated for people with PD is used to measure a patient's fall risk. The test requires a stopwatch and 4 canes laid in a cross pattern. The canes crossed pattern makeup 4 quadrants; quadrant 1 (bottom left), quadrant 2 (top left), quadrant 3 (top right), and quadrant 4 (bottom right). The subject is timed while they step clockwise, and then counterclockwise throughout the quadrants. An assistive device may be used.
The Activities Balance Confidence Scale
时间窗: 5-10 minutes
Validated for people with PD, is a self-report measure of balance confidence while performing various common activities. Scale is from 0% to 100% with 100% being the most confident in their balance in a criterion.
The Mini-BESTest
时间窗: 10-15 minutes
Performance measure, validated in people with PD, aimed to target and identify 6 different balance control systems
The Functional Gait Assessment
时间窗: 5-20 minutes
Validated for people with PD is a performance measure validated in people with PD that is used to assess balance in the higher-functioning older adult and examines ambulation and the ability to perform motor tasks while ambulating
The Multidirectional Functional Reach Test
时间窗: Less than 5 minutes
Used to assess stability when displacing a person's balance in a forward, lateral, and backward direction
The Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39
时间窗: approximately 10 minutes
39-item self-administered questionnaire designed to assess 8 different quality-of-life domains. Uses a 5-point ordinal scale with 0 being never and 5 being always. Lower scores indicate a lower quality of life.
