The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of a community-based exercise program for adults with Parkinson's disease (PD). This one-group pretest and post-test design involved 22 participants with PD who participated in two to three exercise sessions per week for 8 weeks. Outcomes assessed for statistical significance included balance, mobility, cognition, activities of daily living, sleep and quality of life. Although exercise is positively correlated with improvements in function, this short-duration study did not demonstrate this. Qualitative themes revealed an increase in self-perceived socialization, coordination and motivation to continue exercise. This community-based exercise study showed improvements in socialization, self-reported coordination and motivation to exercise. Further research is needed to assess community exercise interventions for PD.
本研究的主要目的是评估针对帕金森病（PD）患者的社区锻炼计划的效果。该单组前后测试设计共纳入了 22 名 PD 患者，他们每周参加两到三次锻炼，为期 8 周。评估具有统计学意义的结果包括平衡、移动能力、认知、日常生活活动、睡眠和生活质量。尽管运动与功能改善呈正相关，但这项短期研究并未证明这一点。定性主题揭示了自我感知的社交、协调和继续运动的动机的增加。这项基于社区的锻炼研究显示了社交、自我报告的协调和锻炼动机的改善。需要进一步研究来评估针对 PD 的社区锻炼干预措施。
