Chronic Effects of Automated Mechanical Peripheral Stimulation on Cardiovascular and Functional Variables in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Automated mechanical peripheral stimulation, Physical Exercise, and 1 other intervention for Parkinson Disease. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study evaluates the addition of automated mechanical peripheral stimulation (AMPS) to physical exercise in the treatment of cardiovascular and motor disabilities in Parkinson's patients. Half of participants will receive AMPS and exercise, while the other half will receive a simulated session (SHAM) and exercise.

Interventions
Automated mechanical pressure reaching the pain threshold in four specific points at the foots soles
The exercise program will be conducted for 12 weeks lasting 1 hour each session. Sessions will be held in groups and each session will comprise 4 steps: 1) Warm-up (5 min): patients will perform stretching of the main muscle groups of upper limbs, lower limbs and trunk; 2) Aerobic exercise (30 min): patients will perform continuous aerobic exercise consisting of walk on flat ground and ramps; 3) Resistance exercise training (20 min): volunteers will perform resistance exercises (2 sets x 15 repetitions) for upper and lower limbs, and trunk working the following muscle groups: shoulder flexors, extensors and abductors; elbow flexors and extensors; trunk extensors and flexors; knee flexors and extensors; and dorsiflexors and plantar flexors; 4) Cool-down (5 min): Stretching of the main muscle groups worked during the sessions and relaxation.
