Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A goal-planning process should be useful to ensure that patients agree on the goals of rehabilitation. Thus, the purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of home-based goal-oriented upper limb intervention in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental group
Patients in the experimental group received a Goal-oriented upper limb intervention.
Goal-oriented upper-limb intervention
The Goal-oriented upper-limb intervention evaluated patients' expectations and the environmental factors influencing the performance of the specific task were identified for each of the three tasks. Patients were asked to perform the activity at home. After this, the observable target behavior corresponding to the target activity was determined. Then, an occupational and a physical therapist worked together with the patient to identify the assistance required to perform this activity such as human assistance, technical aids, assistive devices or verbal guidance.
Control group
Patients in the control group received a standard upper limb intervention
Standard upper limb intervention
The standard upper limb intervention involved active upper limb range of motion, manual dexterity involving grasp and manipulation of small pieces such as marbles and stretching upper limb exercises.
