DBS Exercise Trial Design

1Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Aerobic ExerciseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The participant will work with the physical therapist on an exercise regimen and first session will be supervised with the therapist. Exercise protocols will include a 15-minute warmup and cooldown session as well. To allow for increased participation and accessibility, the means of aerobic exercise will not be restricted and any safe mechanism of exercise will be allowed e.g., treadmill, stationary bike, etc. Subjects will be provided an activity monitor (Phillips HealthBand Monitor) for the duration of study participation and receive training on how to use it, including marking events with start and stop of exercise sessions and tracking heart rate. The device can track type of activity as well as cardio fitness index and VO2max.
