Assessment

Primary outcomes

The primary efficacy outcome was the intergroup difference in the change in the MDS-UPDRS part III score from baseline to week 1 and week 2.

Key secondary outcomes

The secondary outcomes included timed up and go (TUG), walking speed (assessed by a 10-m walk), and performance in activities of daily living (ADL) as measured by the Barthel Index.

Interventions/Control_1

<The experimental intervention group (INSTR)>

The INSTR received a two-week therapeutic exercise program involving repeated backward pulls on the shoulders with instructions to land on the toes as a response.

The daily sessions lasted 40 min and consisted of 25 min of warm-up (1) followed by 15 min of therapeutic exercise (2). Weekends were excluded, so the therapeutic exercise was performed five times a week for 10 days in an ON medication stat.

(1) Warm-up included current physical therapy such as aerobic exercise, stretching, and high-amplitude movements, as well as active workouts for muscular power and posture.

(2) The therapeutic exercise consisted of repetitive backward pulls on the patient's shoulders by the physical therapist. The physical therapist stood behind the patient and explained that they were allowed to take a step backward to avoid falling. The force of the pull was sufficient to displace the COG, at least to a degree requiring the patient to take a step backward. The instruction on how to land on the toes as a backward response was given orally before the pulls and numerous times during the therapeutic exercise.

Interventions/Control_2

<The control group>

The control group received the same intervention, but without the instructions.

The daily sessions lasted 40 min and consisted of 25 min of warm-up (1) followed by 15 min of therapeutic exercise (2). Weekends were excluded, so the therapeutic exercise was performed five times a week for 10 days in an ON medication stat.

(1) Warm-up included current physical therapy such as aerobic exercise, stretching, and high-amplitude movements, as well as active workouts for muscular power and posture.

(2) The therapeutic exercise consisted of repetitive backward pulls on the patient's shoulders by the physical therapist. The physical therapist stood behind the patient and explained that they were allowed to take a step backward to avoid falling. The force of the pull was sufficient to displace the COG, at least to a degree requiring the patient to take a step backward. In the control group, patients received the same therapeutic exercise program consisting of repetitive backward pulls on the shoulders, but they were not instructed how to land on their toes as a backward response.

Results

The improvement in the MDS-UPDRS part III scores was significantly greater for the INSTR group in the week-1 (P=0.033) and week-2 (P=0.004) assessments. However, provision of instructions to land on the toes as a backward response induced an improvement only in the scores related to the backward response, and no significant group differences were observed in the other outcomes.
