Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Parkinson's disease is a complex disabling condition progressively affecting activities and participation of patients. Occupational Therapy aims to optimise functional performance and engagement in meaningful roles and activities. The lack of scientific evidence for the effectiveness of Occupational Therapy (OT) in Parkinson's Disease (PD) highlights the urgent need for high quality intervention studies. The Dutch clinical practice guideline for OT in PD (2008)offers a good basis for conducting an intervention study. The completed OTiP pilot underscored the feasibility and the need for a large scale trial.

The OTiP study evaluates the effectiveness of OT in improving daily functioning of patients with PD.

occupational therapy

10 weeks occupational therapy according to a protocol (OTiP protocol) based on the Dutch guidelines of occupational therapy in Parkinson's disease

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Occupational Therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients in the experimental group will receive 10 weeks (maximum 16 hours) occupational therapy according to a treatment protocol, which is based on the Dutch evidence based guideline for occupational therapy in Parkinson's Disease and refined for this study.

No occupational therapy

Patients and their caregivers in the control group will have no occupational therapy intervention until their last measurement has taken place (6 months).

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease
* Indication for referral to occupational therapy
* Home dwelling

* Available for informal support minimal two times a week to a patient who participates in the study
* Available to take part in the intervention

Exclusion Criteria

* Not capable of completing the self assessment forms (i.e. due to language problems or severe cognitive problems\_MMSE score \< 24).
* Co morbidity with symptoms that interfere with actively taking part in the intervention (e.g psychosis, severe heart condition). Or limitations in activities are dominated by the co morbid condition rather than by Parkinson's Disease.
* Current participation in other allied health research (i.e. PARKFIT)
* Having received occupational therapy intervention in the last 3 months
