Jintronix for Parkinson's Disease

The study will aim to determine whether a technology-based personalized home exercise program delivered asynchronously and supervised remotely by a kinesiologist is more effective in improving gait than a similar home-based exercise program without technology nor remote supervision. The main hypothesis is that the proposed intervention with the technology will provide significant improvements in gait performance and higher adherence/satisfaction over the non-supervised exercise program. Both groups will be composed of people with Parkinson's disease. They will have the same evaluation pre and post intervention, the same number of visits from the kinesiologist to deliver the exercise program at home. The difference is the information gathered from the technology; for example, the completion level of each training, success or failure of selected exercises, connection to exercise session, etc. In addition, kinesiologist can remotely adjust difficulty of exercise and take action quickly if the participant hasn't logged in the training system. Total duration for a participant is 16 weeks: pre-evaluation at home and at lab, 12 weeks home-based exercise program, post-evaluation at home and lab (same as before exercise program). Pre- and post-evaluation: 7 days wearing an Apple watch to measure mobility in participant environment (participant is met at home and continues normal activities), than comes to lab to undergo physical and balance tests, and scans to analyse body composition (fat, muscle and bone structures). Participant needs to be in "off" state when arriving at the lab; not have taken the morning PD medication. Will take it at the lab with breakfast, after the first tests.
