Effectiveness of Online Program and Task-related Training for Parkinson's Disease
Sponsor: Chang Gung University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of online self-management program and on-site task-related training for people with early stage Parkinson's disease. people with early stage of Parkinson's disease (age range: 45-70 years) will be randomly assigned into the following three groups: control group, online self-management program group and on-site task-related training group.The control group will receive no treatment during the experimental period. For the other two groups, participants will receive the intervention twice a week, one hour per session and 12 sessions in total. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. the potential impact of motor and non-motor symptoms on activity participation and quality of life for people with early stage of Parkinson's disease (PD). 2. compare and examine the the effectiveness of online self-management program and on-site task-related training for people with early stage Parkinson's disease on activity participation and quality of life.

Interventions
on-line self-management training
To encourage adherence to the home program among early-stage Parkinson's disease participants, the investigators have developed various self-management topics, including medication adherence and exercise benefits. The home program is categorized into two dimensions: daily function and exercise. The investigators will provides participants with detailed guidelines to ensure safe execution of the program independently.
onsite task-related training
Participants will receive interventions at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. A certified occupational therapist will conduct the interventions. These sessions will involve functional tasks tailored to each participant's skill level, with two to four varied tasks per session. Additionally, participants will be given booklets to guide them in self-managing similar exercises at home, mirroring the home program of the self-management group.
