Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
De primary parameter for the large Phase III Trial will be chosen on base of the results of this pilot study. Candidate primary endpoints will be: - Cognitive function (Trails A and B task). - Resting state fMRI: Volumetric brain changes Resting state brain perfusion

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Furthermore we will use endpoints, which will serve as surrogate endpoints for disease progression: - Cognitive functioning (SCOPA-cog) - Motor function (UPDRS-III) - Depression scale (HADS) - Effect of Parkinson on daily life (PDQ-39) - Parkinson Disability (SPDDS - Sleeping problems (SCOPA-sleep) - Falling (ABC-16-scale) - VO2max - 6 Minute Walking test - Instrumental Timed Up and Go Test (iTUG) - Postural Sway Test - Finger Tapping Test - Pegboard Test Parameters are measured before the intervention and after the intervention
