Several exercise modalities improve the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Among the variety of physical exercises, Nordic walking has been used. The aim of this study was to summarize scientific literature on effects of Nordic walking on patients with PD by a systematic review of randomized clinical trials. The following electronic databases were selected: MEDLINE by Pubmed, Cochrane, PEDro, SCOPUS and Web of Science and articles identified by manual search, without restriction of date and language. The reviewers evaluated the articles and selected studies according to the eligibility criteria. The following data were extracted from the selected studies: publication identification, participants’ characteristics (sex, age, disease stage, duration of disease), experimental intervention characteristics, control group characteristics, duration, follow-up time, outcome measures and main results. Nordic walking programs with moderate and high intensities, with a minimum of 12 sessions of 60 minutes in a period from 6 to 24 weeks promoted positive effects on the severity, gait, balance, quality of life, functional capacity and motor function in patients with PD.

“…In PD, polestriding interventions have been shown to improve quality of life 20,14 , walking speed 14 and sit-to-stand transfer 21 . A study 22 involving polestriding training resulted in improvements in many clinical scores on balance, lower limb muscles strength, 6-minute walking test, and Timed Up and Go test during medication-on state.…”

Objective To evaluate the effects of 12-week polestriding intervention on gait and disease severity in people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease Design A-B-A withdrawal study design Setting Outpatient movement disorder center and community facility. Participants Individuals (9 females and 8 males; mean age: 63.7 ± 4.9 years; range 53 – 72 years) with mild to moderate PD according to UK brain bank criteria with Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) score from 2.5 to 3.0 with a stable medication regimen and ability to tolerate ‘off’ medication state. Intervention 12-week polestriding intervention with 12-week follow-up. Main Outcome Measures Gait was evaluated using several quantitative temporal, spatial, and variability measures. In addition, disease severity was assessed using clinical scores such as Unified Parkinson’s Rating Scale (UPDRS), H&Y score, and Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39). Results Step and stride lengths, gait speed, and step-time variability were improved significantly (p < 0.05) due to 12-week polestriding intervention. Also, the UPDRS motor score, the UPDRS axial score, and the UPDRS subscales on walking and balance improved significantly after the intervention. Conclusions Since increased step-time variability and decreased step/stride lengths are associated with PD severity and an increased risk of falls in PD, the observed improvements suggest that regular practice of polestriding may reduce the risk of falls and improve mobility in people with PD.

Quantitative wearable sensors for objective assessment of Parkinson's disease

et al. 2013

There is a rapidly growing interest in the quantitative assessment of Parkinson's disease (PD)-associated signs and disability using wearable technology. Both persons with PD and their clinicians see advantages in such developments. Specifically, quantitative assessments using wearable technology may allow for continuous, unobtrusive, objective, and ecologically valid data collection. Also, this approach may improve patient-doctor interaction, influence therapeutic decisions, and ultimately ameliorate patients' global health status. In addition, such measures have the potential to be used as outcome parameters in clinical trials, allowing for frequent assessments; eg, in the home setting. This review discusses promising wearable technology, addresses which parameters should be prioritized in such assessment strategies, and reports about studies that have already investigated daily life issues in PD using this new technology.
