Effects of Action Observation Training and Motor Imagery Delivered by Telerehabilitation in Patients with Parkinson's Disease

Sponsor: Istituto Clinico Humanitas

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy on motor and postural tasks of Action Observation Training (AOT) and Action Observation combined with Motor Imagery (AOMI) delivered by telerehabilitation in patients with Parkinson Disease. * The primary endpoint will be mobility measured with the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test (differences before and after telerehabilitation treatment period). * In addition, clinical and functional measures, instrumental analysis of gait and posture, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) correlates will be assessed. Participants will be asked to undergo 24 telerehabilitation sessions, cadenced 3 per week, over an 8-week period. In the two experimental groups (AOT and AOMI), each telerehabilitation session will encompass 4 motor tasks, each containing the observation of a video clip immediately followed by the patient's execution or imagination of the same exercises. Patients in the control group will be instructed to perform the same exercises after watching videos showing landscapes
