Computer-based Cognitive Training for Individuals With Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's DiseaseMild Cognitive ImpairmentComputer-Based Cognitive Training for Individuals with Parkinson's Disease" is a 3-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing Brain Fitness, InSight, and an active control (AC) training program to evaluate the feasibility of empirically supported computer-based cognitive training programs (CCTPs) for patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). This pilot study aims to address the need for increased interventions to target non-motor symptoms associated with PD.

Expressive Writing for Individuals With Parkinson's Disease and Their Caregivers
Parkinson's DiseaseCoping SkillsThis randomized, controlled trial (RCT) evaluates the benefits of expressive compared to neutral writing in individuals with Parkinson's Disease and their support persons. Participants will be randomly assigned to complete three, 20 minute sessions of expressive or neutral writing. Participants will complete evaluation of outcomes at baseline, immediate post, 4 month and 10 month follow ups to establish if benefits remain over time. Impact of these therapies on thinking abilities, physical health, and patient and support person ratings of thinking skills, mood and quality of life will be evaluated. Expressive writing is hypothesized to result in greater improvements and/or stability of function on neuropsychological tests of attention, working memory, learning, and memory skills compared to the neutral writing condition. Results from this study will determine whether brief writing exercises are easily used by and beneficial for individuals with Parkinson's Disease and their support persons. If positive benefit is observed, information from this study will be used to further optimize these therapies for larger trials designed to evaluate the value of the therapies for individuals with Parkinson's Disease and their support persons.

Exercise Intervention and Dexterity in Parkinson
ParkinsonThe investigators conducted an intervention based in proprioceptive exercises and balance tasks. The investigators also carried out a brief intervention in manual dexterity. The study hypothesis is that a brief intervention in upper extremities and a exercise program can increase functionality in Parkinson.

Real-time fMRI Neurofeedback for Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's DiseaseThe aim of the study is to train patients with Parkinson's Disease to increase activity in a brain area that is involved in the control of motor functions with the use of a technique called real-time fMRI neurofeedback (NF) along with regular physical exercise. This will be a randomised and controlled clinical trial to evaluate the benefits of a novel treatment. The investigators expect NF training along with physical exercise practise to better improve motor functions compared to physical exercise alone.

Respiratory Kinematics of Cough in Healthy Older Adults and Parkinson's Disease
CoughParkinson's DiseaseThe purpose of this research study is to test cough function in individuals with Parkinson's disease and healthy older adults. Cough is a complex, defensive function which involves movement of the chest and lungs. The investigators want to compare the movement of the chest wall and the lungs during voluntary and reflex cough. The long-term goal of this research is to develop treatments for people with cough dysfunction. Cough dysfunction increases the risk for respiratory infections such as pneumonia. The results from this study will provide information to help researchers understand the difference between reflex and voluntary cough more fully.

Sensory Stimulation Effect on Movement Speed in Patients With Parkinson Disease
Parkinson DiseaseMovement slowness (bradykinesia) is one of the main motor symptoms in Parkinson Disease (PD). Several studies have shown that patients with PD exhibit slowness because they are unable to modulate, in an optimal way, the velocity of voluntary motor acts not induced by external stimulation. Indeed, these patients have difficulties to integrate multi-sensorial information, mainly proprioception. The investigators investigated changes in shoulder velocity during pointing movements by patients with PD after stimulation of soft tissues (aponeurosis) of upper limb muscles. The stimulation consisted of manipulating, with a hook (the diacutaneous fibrolysis method), the aponeurotic tissues enrobing the heads of the upper limb muscles. This technique has previously been shown to decrease passive tension and the tendon reflex response of the manipulated muscle group. The investigators hypothesis is that aponeurotic manipulation of shoulder muscles therefore creates a modification in the proprioceptive information, which in return temporarily decreases the bradykinesia of shoulder movements.
