Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Quality of Life measured by PDQ 39
The Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39, max. score of 100 indicates the worst quality of life)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Health-related resource use in the elderly population, assessed by FIMA
FIMA stands for "Questionnaire concerning Health-related resource use in the elderly population" and is a German questionnaire assessing the Health-related resource use in the elderly population
Change in disease severity measured by UPDRS
UPDRS - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, max. score of 199 points indicates the worst outcome
Change in disease severity measured by Hoehn & Yahr
Hoehn & Yahr is a simple scale that describes disease severity on a scale of 0-5, with 5 indicating severe disability
Change in mobility, measured by Schwab- & England-Scale
Schwab- & England-Scale assesses the capabilities of people with impaired mobility. The scale uses percentages with 100% indicating full independence.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an online platform that allows neurologists and therapists to exchange therapy recommendations, communicate assessments and plan physical therapy, occupational therapy as well as speech and swallowing therapy for their patients.
Detailed Description
The aim of this study is to enroll 185 patients in the intervention group and 185 patients in the control group. Patients in the intervention group come from the same region (Münsterland), the control group will consist of patients outside this region. The patients in the intervention group undergo therapies planned and coordinated through the online platform for 12 months. The patients in the intervention group will be evaluated using the PDQ-39, UPDRS, H&Y as well as Schwab & England. The patients in the control group will be evaluated using the PDQ-39.
