Official study title

The effect of physical activity on cognition, vision and motor function in people with Parkinson disease and its animal model

Short title used by the registry

The effect of physical activity on people with Parkinson disease

Original description

Intervention: Intervention 1: Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common progressive neurodegenerative disorders. Physical exercise takes into account an important protective approach to prevent abnormal function and cell death in the brain. Beneficial effects including molecular changes in the brain to increase memory and learning might reduce apoptosis in Retinal cells. Therefore, it is important to seek more effective therapeutic interventions as well as low-cost ones for PD. In this study, the mechanism of its effect in PD and its animal model will be considered. Intervention 2: Control group: In this study, the control group will not receive any specific training. Primary outcome: Postural control (Balance improvement after treatment). Timepoint: Before and after intervention. Method of measurement: force plate in bio-mechanic lab. Secondary outcome: Cognitive function based on changes in BDNF protein. Timepoint: Before and After intervention. Method of measurement: Study of serum BDNF levels by analyzing blood samples.

Conditions reported: Parkinson's Disease. Parkinson's disease
