Seeing how the Short Physical Performance Battery works for people with Parkinson's in Galicia

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter observational study characterizes the functional, cognitive, and sociodemographic profiles of people with Parkinson's disease in Galicia. It evaluates the psychometric properties of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) to determine its reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity in this population. Participants undergo a comprehensive assessment of mobility, balance, strength, cognitive status, physical activity, and disease severity. The goal is to determine if the SPPB is a practical and accurate tool for clinical and research use in PD patients in Galicia. Findings could inform how physical function is measured in this group and support standardized assessments in future studies and care plans.
