Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to introduce a universally designed exergame program for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease and to examine its feasibility (acceptability, safety, and adherence), as well as to exploratorily evaluate its potential effects on health-related quality of life, motor function, cognitive function, and social interaction.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Change in health-related quality of life assessed by the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) from baseline to 8 weeks, comparing the intervention and control groups.

Key secondary outcomes

Safety
Recording of adverse events during the intervention period (continuously, up to 8 weeks).

Acceptability
Questionnaire based on the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (intervention group only, at 8 weeks).

Adherence
Proportion of completed sessions out of the total 24 prescribed sessions (intervention group only, at 8 weeks).

Feasibility
Six-point Likert scale ratings of fatigue, effort, perceived progress, and enjoyment (intervention group only, at 8 weeks).

Health-related quality of life
12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12, PCS and MCS) (baseline and 8 weeks, between-group comparison).

Motor function
MDS-UPDRS Part III (baseline and 8 weeks, between-group comparison).

Cognitive function
Trail Making Test Part A (TMT-A) and Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT) (baseline and 8 weeks, between-group comparison).

Social engagement
Lubben Social Network Scale-6 (LSNS-6) and Three-Item Loneliness Scale (TIL scale) (baseline and 8 weeks, between-group comparison).

Interventions/Control_1

Intervention group: In addition to standardized Parkinson's disease rehabilitation (stretching, aerobic exercise, resistance training, and balance training; 20-30 minutes per session, three times per week, for 8 weeks), participants engaged in a universally designed exergame program (UDe-Sports). Exergame sessions were conducted in small groups of 2-4 participants, 15 minutes per session, three times per week, for 8 weeks, under the supervision of rehabilitation professionals. The difficulty level of the games was adjusted according to participants' motor and cognitive abilities.

Interventions/Control_2

Control group: Participants received only standardized Parkinson's disease rehabilitation (stretching, aerobic exercise, resistance training, and balance training; 20-30 minutes per session, three times per week, for 8 weeks).
