Promoting Physical Activity Engagement for People With Early-mid Stage Parkinson's Disease (Engage-PD)
Sponsor: Teachers College, Columbia University
Summary
Engage-PD is a single cohort evaluation of implementation of a telehealth-delivered physical activity coaching program for people with early-mid stage Parkinson's disease. The program utilizes a physical or occupational therapist to provide one-on-one coaching for individuals with early-mid stage Parkinson's disease to provide individualized structured support to facilitate and optimize exercise uptake as part of an effective self-management program. The structure of the coaching program is based on previous research in neurodegenerative disease including Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.

Interventions
Physical Activity Coaching
Participants will receive up to 5 coaching sessions by a physical or occupational therapist. The intervention will focus on facilitating physical activity engagement and development of specific and measurable goals. The recommended program will be individualized to each participant but will primarily focus on increasing general physical activity (e.g. steps per day) as well as engagement in moderate intensity aerobic exercise a minimum of three times per week. At the follow up sessions the therapist will review progress with the current exercise plan and progress and discuss barriers and facilitators for exercise engagement. Participants will have the option to use a Fitbit or other device to monitor their heart rate and physical activity during the course of the intervention period.
