Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This randomized clinical trial aims to determine effects of Telerehabilitation versus clinic-based task-oriented circuit training on upper extremity functions and quality of life in Parkinson's patient.

Detailed Description

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

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the motor system. It is also affecting dexterity of upper limb. Working on its rehabilitation is important question these days. There is growing evidence that intensity and task-specificity of practice delivered by physical- (PT) may be effective and compliment to pharmacological and surgical treatments. Notably, task specific training improves the patient's abilities in ADL and increases levels of participation. This study aims to compare the effects of telerehabilitation and clinic-based task-oriented circuit training on upper extremity functions and quality of life in Parkinson's patients. Telerehabilitation offers increased accessibility, personalized care, and continuity of therapy. It provides therapy in a convenient way and allows for remote monitoring and feedback.

This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Lahore general hospital and Sehat Medical complex, Lahore. Diagnosed cases of Parkinson's disease falling in Stage 1 and 2 according to Hoehn-Yahr Classification of Disability Scale with Cognition level according to mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score \>24 will be included. Sample will be selected by non-probability convenient sampling technique. Patients will be enrolled and assessed for eligibility criteria. Randomization will be done by sealed envelope method and allocated into two groups, one will get telerehabilitation based task-oriented circuit training TOCT-TR and other group will receive clinic-based task-oriented circuit training TOCT-CR. Patients will be blinded about intervention group. Interventions will be applied for 6 weeks. Pre and post treatment assessment will be done by assessor blinded to study. Thus, it will be double blinded study. Analysis will be done by SPSS 29 version. The findings can contribute to the growing evidence base supporting the use of telerehabilitation in Parkinson's disease management and guide future rehabilitation practices.
