RehaBEElitation - Serious Game-Based Experimental Protocol to Improve Manual Dexterity in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease - NCT07928050

Sponsor: Federal University of Uberlandia Conditions: Parkinson Disease This is a non-randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups, with the general objective of developing and applying an assessment and intervention protocol based on a serious game for the rehabilitation of hand function in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). The experimental group trained with the RehaBEElitation serious game, controlled by hand and wrist movements through a wearable sensor glove; the control group trained the same five movements with a home exercise booklet. Both groups trained twice a week for six weeks (12 sessions of 30 to 45 minutes) and kept their usual physiotherapy. Participants were allocated in sequence: those enrolled first received the serious game and those enrolled later received the booklet. Manual dexterity, motor signs, quality of life, functioning and upper-limb muscle activation (surface electromyography) were assessed before and after the intervention. This trial was registered retrospectively.
