In this pilot study, we evaluated the feasibility, safety and preliminary efficacy of a 6-week, community-based group intervention designed to reduce freezing of gait (FOG) for people with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Seven people with PD completed 'FOG Boot Camp' provided by the St. Louis Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association. We recorded attendance, participant's acceptance of the intervention and adverse events during classes. Pre and post-tests included measures of freezing, balance, motor severity, quality-of-life and gait speed.
No falls or injuries occurred and attendance was high. Participants had favorable feedback and showed reduced freezing and improvements in balance and gait.
Preliminary data suggest the FOG boot camp was feasible, safe and effective.
在这项试点研究中,我们评估了一项为期6周、以社区为基础的团体干预措施的可行性、安全性和初步疗效,该干预措施旨在减少帕金森病(PD)患者的冻结步态(FOG)。
7名帕金森病患者完成了由美国帕金森病协会圣路易斯分会提供的“FOG训练营”。我们记录了出勤情况、参与者对干预措施的接受程度以及课程期间的不良事件。前后测试包括对冻结、平衡、运动严重程度、生活质量和步态速度的测量。
未发生跌倒或受伤情况,出勤率很高。参与者给出了积极反馈,冻结情况减少,平衡和步态得到改善。
初步数据表明,FOG训练营是可行、安全且有效的。
