What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale

    A comprehensive 50 question clinical rating scale for the assessment of both motor and non-motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's. The total cumulative score will range from 0 (no disability) to 199 (total disability).

    Measured: 3 weeks

  2. TIMED UP AND GO (TUG)

    The TUG test is a physical performance measure in which the ability to rise up from a seated chair position, walk 3m, turn, walk back, and sit down is timed.

    Measured: 3 weeks

  3. Berg Balance Scale (BBS)

    The BBS is a widely used clinical test of a person's static and dynamic balance abilities. t is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function.A score of 56 indicates functional balance.

    Measured: 3 weeks

  4. Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS)

    The non-motor symptoms questionnaire is a 30-point, patient-based questionnaire used to determine the non-motor symptoms experienced by the patient during the past month.Responses quantify symptoms according severity (using a scale of 0-3) and frequency (using a scale of 0-4). Higher scores represent more severe and more frequent symptoms.

    Measured: 3 weeks

  5. 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39)

    This questionnaire assesses how often people affected by Parkinson's experience difficulties across 8 dimensions of daily living. It is scored on a scale of 0-100, with lower scores indicating better health and high scores more severe symptoms.

    Measured: 3 weeks

  6. Freeze of gait (FOG) Questionnaire

    Consists of 16 items assessing freeze of gait. Total score ranges from 0 to 24, higher score corresponds to more severe FOG.

    Measured: 3 weeks
