Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the study is to investigate the change of lower and upper extremity skills with dual task in Parkinson's disease patients and to determine the differences between Parkinson's disease patients with different stages of disease and the healthy controls regarding the change of lower and upper extremity skills with dual task.
Interventions
It requires individual to stand up from an armed chair, walk 3m, turn around, walk back to the armed chair, and sit down again
10 Meter Walk Test measures the time required to complete straight walk of 10 meters distance
Purdue Pegboard test evaluates the fine manuel dexterity

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Timed Up and Go Test | 10-15 seconds | Functional mobility is assessed by using the timed up and go test. The timed up and go test measures the time that a patient needs to stand up from a chair, walk a 3-m distance, come back and sit back on the chair. |
| 10 Meter Walk Test | 10-15 seconds | 10 Meter Walk Test measures the time required to complete straight walk of 10 meters distance. |
| Purdue Pegboard Test | 3-5 minutes | Purdue Pegboard Test assesses the speed and motor dexterity of each hand and the manual dexterity using both hands at the same time. The PPT consists of a board with two columns with 25 holes each and a specific number of pins, washers and collars placed in four containers across the top of the board. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale | 1 minute | Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale allocates stages from 0 to 5 to indicate the relative level of disability and stage of disease. Higher level indicates worse physical condition. |
| Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) | 10-15 minutes | Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) will be used in order to evaluate cognition. It assesses different cognitive domains: attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuoconstructional skills, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation.It' score ranged from 0 to 30 and higher points indicates better cognitive outcomes. |
| Short-Form 8-Item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8) | 1-2 minutes | The short-form 8-item Parkinson's disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8) is the most commonly used scale measuring health related quality of life (HRQoL) in PD patients. It includes 8 items, and each item has five options (never, occasionally, sometimes, often, always or cannot do at all). The total score ranges from 0 to 32. Higher scores indicates poorer quality of life. |
