The Effects of a Single Session of Rhythmic Movement Program on Selected Biopsychological Parameters in PD Patients
Parkinson Disease, Rhythm
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Parkinson Disease focused on measuring musicokinetic education, rhythm, dance, anxiety, gait, walking kinematics, walking kinetics, DLPFC hemodynamics

synchronous learning format

Control
Volunteers will be asked to attend synchronous learning format MSK Training. The exercise protocol has a duration of 45 minutes of rhythmic training and includes sections of warming-up, stretching, breathing, movement combinations, a dance sequence and recovery. Each exercise is accompanied with music that provides a clear and predictable rhythm. More specifically, the beat or rhythm of the music is used as a guide for the timing and duration of specific movements, allowing people with PD to coordinate their movements with the music. Simple values are going to be introduced such as whole notes, half notes and quarter notes; clapping and tapping, breathing and sounds. Class will be accompanied by recorded classical piano music, to meet the needs of synchronous learning format and asynchronous remote video-based format. The intensity of the class is moderate approximately 3 MET. The instructor is an experienced dance teacher in musicokinetic education.
Volunteers will be asked to attend asynchronous remote video-based format MSK Training. The exercise protocol is the same as the synchronous format but delivered via a video-based format
Volunteers will not be asked to sit quietly for a 45-minute period
