Apokyn Treatment Before Physical Therapy
APOKYN treatment before the PT Intervention Visit. Subjects in the "APO+" group will administer their usual dose of APOKYN at the PT clinic, as instructed by the Physical Therapist. These subjects will not take carbidopa/levodopa for at least 3 hours before or during the PT Intervention Visit. APOKYN: Subjects in the APOKYN+ group will administer his/her usual dose of APOKYN at the PT clinic, as instructed by the Physical Therapist. These subjects will not take carbidopa/levodopa for at least 3 hours before or during the PT Intervention Visit. Physical Therapy: All subjects will participate in a standardized PT intervention
Apokyn Treatment Withheld Before Physical Therapy
APOKYN treatment withheld before the PT Intervention Visit. Subjects in the "APO-" group will not take carbidopa/levodopa and APOKYN for at least 3 hours before or during the PT Intervention Visit. No "rescue therapy" will be allowed during the PT. Intervention Visit. If the PT Intervention Visit needs to be stopped early, the Physical Therapist will record this along with a reason for the discontinuation.

The MoCA is a validated, 30-point test (sum of the 6 domains), with scores ranging from 0 (worst) to 30 (best). The test is designed to assess several cognitive domains, including visuospatial abilities (5 points), animal naming (3 points), attention (6 points), language (3 points), abstraction (2 points), delayed recall (5 points), and orientation to time and place (6 points). Total MoCA scores higher than 26 indicate normal cognitive function. A positive change from baseline represents an improvement in cognitive function.

PDQ-39 is a scale measuring subject reported aspects of functioning and well-being. Each of the 39 items is rated using a 5-points Likert scale, with 0 for never having difficulties/problems and 4 for all always having difficulties/problems. The total score is the sum of the 39 items, with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 156. A negative change from baseline represents an improvement in functioning and well-being.

PFS-16 is a subject-reported scale evaluating the physical effects of fatigue and its impact on daily function, with a minimum score of 16 and a maximum score of 80. Ratings are based on feelings and experiences over the prior 2 weeks, with scoring ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), where lower scores are associated with less fatigue and higher scores are associated with greater fatigue. A negative change from baseline represents an improvement in the physical effects of fatigue and the impact on daily function. .

Seven items relate to anxiety and 7 items related to depression, where the scale ranges from 0 (best score possible) to 21 (worst score possible). A negative change from baseline represents a decrease in anxiety.
