Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In this study, we will provide home exercise guidance to community-dwelling PD patients, utilizing heel lifts and visual cues for standing and walking practice aimed at improving gait. We will evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention. To assess changes in gait quality, we will record videos and analyze them using motion analysis software powered by artificial intelligence. Additionally, we will assess motor and cognitive function. This study aims to analyze the relationship between these assessment results and walking ability, investigating any characteristics or trends that emerge.

Interventions/Control_1

We provide indoor shoes with insoles to elevate the heel. Under these conditions, we instruct exercises that can be performed at home.
The exercise regimen consists of: 1. Chair stand-up practice (Guideline: 5-10 repetitions for 2-3 sets, at a slightly challenging intensity), 2. Step practice using visual cues (Guideline: 20 steps left and right for 2-3 sets, at a slightly challenging intensity), 3. Walking practice using visual cues (Guideline: 3-5 round trips for 2-3 sets, at a slightly challenging intensity).
Participants will perform these exercises for 2 weeks, after which effectiveness will be assessed.
For those who wish, carryover effects will be evaluated.
Participants will then resume their usual routine for 2 weeks, followed by a carryover effect assessment 2 weeks later.
If medication dosage changes cause a noticeable change in the participant's usual condition, participation in the study may be discontinued.
These exercises and evaluations are within the scope of standard medical care.
