Identifying the Neural Signature of Exercise to Advance Treatment of PD Cognitive Declines
Twenty-five participants with PD utilizing the Medtronic Percept PC DBS system will be enrolled for this project and complete a single bout of both FE and VE. The 150-minute experimental session will be completed in the OFF antiparkinsonian and Off-DBS state.
Slow Wave Sleep As a Biomarker of Rehabilitation-induced Cognitive Improvement in PD
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of exercise rehabilitation on cognition and to evaluate slow wave sleep (SWS) as a biomarker and mediator of response to rehabilitation-induced improvement in cognitive performance among persons with Parkinson's disease (PwP), with the ultimate goal of maximizing rehabilitation efficacy at …
Effect of Adding Computerized Cognitive Training on Balance, Locomotion and Cognition in Parkinson's Disease
BACKGROUND: Postural instability and gait abnormalities are cardinal features in Parkinson's disease (PD). It represents one of the most disabling symptoms in the advanced stages of the disease.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of adding computer-based cognitive training to physical therapy interventions on …
Speed Manipulated Adaptive Rehabilitation Therapy Bike for Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that results in slowness of movement, muscle stiffness, tremor, and postural instability. These symptoms significantly affect PD patients' quality of life, independence, and functional performance. There is currently no cure for PD, but symptoms can be treated with levodopa or deep brain …
Transcutaneous Vibro-Acoustic Therapy in Parkinson Disease
Small exploratory pilot study to assess effects of a transcutaneous vibro-acoustic therapy device (Apollo Neuro) in people with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Physical Training for People With Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis: Effect on Mind and Body
People with Parkinson's disease and Multiple Sclerosis experience disabling motor and non-motor symptoms, which respond insufficiently to medication. To adequately alleviate disease burden, physical training is increasing acknowledged as an assisting therapy; however, the optimal dose of exercise in unknown.
Unstructured Eye Tracking as a Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker in Parkinsonian Disorders
Study Rationale: No accurate tests currently exist to diagnose Parkinson's disease (PD) and the conditions which mimic it (atypical parkinsonism) at a very early stage. Similarly there are no accurate ways to track how these diseases progress in a very precise manner. Recording eye movements and pupils may be a …
Telehealth in Lewy Body Dementia
Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative dementia in the US. Optimal care requires an interdisciplinary approach, however often faced barriers include rural residence, limited access to specialists, travel distance, limited awareness of resources, and physical, cognitive, and behavioral impairments making travel to appointments challenging. Delivering interdisciplinary …
Analysis and Suppression of Tremor During Grasp Using Ultrasound Imaging and Electrical Stimulation
Individuals experiencing tremors face difficulty performing activities of daily living caused by involuntary oscillation of the muscles in the hands and arms. Current solutions to help suppress tremors include medication, surgery, assistive devices and lifestyle change. However, each of these has a drawback of its own including cost and unwanted …
directSTIM Deep Brain Stimulation System Study
The purpose of this study is to obtain clinical outcome data on safety and effectiveness of the directSTIM DBS system when used on-label, according to the instructions for use. All participants will undergo bilateral implant in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and data collected in common practice will be recorded during …
