ActivPARK - Physical Activity in Persons With Parkinson's Disease- Pilot Study
Karolinska Institutet · NCT06901869
This study looks at how physical activity changes for people with Parkinson's disease in different situations to see what affects their activity levels and how to create better support for them.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to investigate the evolution of physical activity behavior in individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease across various settings in Sweden. By utilizing a broad explanatory model, the study seeks to understand how factors beyond disease characteristics influence physical activity levels. The ultimate goal is to develop tailored interventions that enhance functioning, health, and well-being throughout the progression of the disease. The findings may also inform potential modifications to healthcare pathways for better patient outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, ranging from mild to severe severity.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to personalized physical activity interventions that improve the quality of life for patients with Parkinson's disease.
How similar studies have performed: While few longitudinal cohort studies have focused on physical activity in Parkinson's disease, this approach aims to fill a significant knowledge gap, suggesting it may be novel and untested.
