Official study title

Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Implicit Learning, Retention, and Transfer of Upper Extremity Motor Skills in Parkinson’s Patients with Freezing of Gait

Short title used by the registry

Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Implicit Learning in Parkinson’s Patients with Freezing of Gait

Original description

Intervention: Intervention 1: Intervention group: Patients in this group, prior to the motor learning sessions (three consecutive sessions), perform a total of three sessions of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. The exercises are carried out on a stationary bicycle for 30 minutes. Exercise intensity is adjusted so that participants pedal at a rate of 50 to 70 revolutions per minute, corresponding to 70% of their maximum heart rate. Intervention 2: Control group: Patients in this group do not perform any aerobic exercise and remain at rest during this period. Primary outcome: Implicit learning, retention and transfer. Timepoint: ??? ?? ?????? - ??? ?? ??????. Method of measurement: time.

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