Remote Dynamic Cycling for the Customized Off-site Rehab in Parkinson’s Disease<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

This study aims to develop a novel and accessible way to deliver effective and customized exercise-based rehabilitation to those suffering from Parkinson’s disease.<\/p>\n

Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD) progressively deteriorates motor function. Successful rehabilitation, leading to a favorable course of movement disorders in PD, is contingent upon a frequent, regular, and patient-specific exercise regimen that is customized to the individual needs. This requires regular interventions from the provider and frequent visits to the rehab facility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lack of access, poor social support, inability to travel, home-bound status, or pandemics are significant hurdles in delivering effective rehab to the PD patients. The investigators’ vision is to offer customized and cost-effective PD rehab using a remotely operated technology near or at the patients’ homes. This technology would be remotely monitored and customized online to titrate therapeutic outcomes optimized for each patient.<\/p>\n

The proof of this concept was established in the investigators’ laboratory, a technology called dynamic cycling. The highlight of the technology is a stationary bike operating at a rapid speed (cadence) with programmable variability in speed and power\/torque hence promoting motor performance superior to traditional motorized bikes (i.e. static cycling). The next step towards the ultimate vision of at-home exercise therapy is a remotely operated dynamic bike. The study will objectively examine the efficacy of a novel, remotely delivered and remotely adjusted dynamic cycling paradigm using remotely monitored motor outcomes. Comparisons will be made with remote static cycling.<\/p>\n
