Usability Study of a Neuropsychological Intervention Program Based on Virtual Reality in Adults With Parkinson's Disease
Abstract
Nowadays, several strategies for treating neuropsychologic function loss in Parkinson disease (PD) have been proposed, such as physical activity performance and developing games to exercise the mind. However, few studies illustrate the incidence of these therapies in neuronal activity. This work aims to study the feasibility of a virtual reality-based program oriented to the cognitive functions' rehabilitation of PD patients. For this, the study was divided in intervention with the program, acquisition of signals, data processing and results analysis.
The study highlights implementing new technologies to rehabilitate people with neurodegenerative diseases.
Conditions: Parkinson Disease.
Primary outcome: Power spectral density in the frequency of motor imagery from primary motor cortex; Power spectral density in the frequency of motor imagery from primary motor cortex Post-Intervention.
Enrollment: 9 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 9 participants or records.
