Brief Summary:
This controlled interventional study will investigate the effects of a 12-weeks sport climbing course compared to 24 weeks of unsupervised physical exercise on motor symptoms in Parkinsons disease
Detailed Description:
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a 12-week sport climbing course versus unsupervised physical exercise on motor symptoms in patients with Parkinsons disease
Background Sport climbing SC is known as a whole-body workout which additionally trains cognitive mental and social abilities In contrast to its public image SC in a controlled environment using top-rope belay is a safe sport and can be performed at any age and at any level In the field of neurological rehabilitation it is already used as therapeutic SC for other neurological diseases such as stroke multiple sclerosis depressions etc but studies on climbing in PD patients are lacking
Hypothesis to find significant improvement of motor symptoms in the climbing group compared to the control group as well as biopsychosocial improvements after 6 weeks 12 weeks and 6 months after the intervention
Methods Effects of SC on motor symptoms in 48 PD patients in total who will be randomized into a climbing group n24 and a control group n24 will be evaluated The climbing group will follow a 12-week 90 minweek climbing trainings course led by professional climbing instructors
The control group will receive educationinformation material of the European physiotherapy guidelines for physical activity recommended by the WHO and will be instructed to follow the recommendation of the guidelines to independently live an active lifestyle and train unsupervised All patients will be evaluated with clinical assessments at baseline in between the study period mid after completing the 12-weeks study period post As additional outcomes health benefits of SC in PD with a holistic approach covering biopsychosocial aspects will be investigated Therefore non-motoric and motoric parameters will be evaluated and follow-up assessments 6 months after
