Abstract

Auditory cues, including music, are commonly used in the treatment of persons with Parkinson's disease. Yet, how music style and movement rate modulate movement performance in persons with Parkinson's disease have been neglected and remain limited in healthy young populations. The purpose of this study was to determine how music style and movement rate influence movement performance in healthy young adults. Healthy participants were asked to perform repetitive finger movements at two pacing rates (70 and 140 beats per minute) for the following conditions: (a) a tone only, (b) activating music, and (c) relaxing music. Electromyography, movement kinematics, and variability were collected. Results revealed that the provision of music, regardless of style, reduced amplitude variability at both pacing rates. Intermovement interval was longer, and acceleration variability was reduced during both music conditions at the lower pacing rate only. These results may prove beneficial for designing therapeutic interventions for persons with Parkinson's disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Exercise shows promise for improving physical and cognitive functioning, quality of life, and mood in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Structured interviews have suggested potential factors influencing participation in exercise in this population, but no studies have examined if they predict exercise behaviour. Thirty persons with PD completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. Time spent exercising was calculated by summing responses for recreation, sport, and leisure-time physical activity. Predictors of exercise were assessed via interview. In addition, participants were asked about what types of exercise they engaged in and what types of exercise they would be interested in trying. Regression analyses were used to identify the factors that predicted time spent exercising, as well as determining factors in low vs. high exercisers (≥150 min per week). Positive predictors of exercise were being male (β= −0.52, p = 0.01; χ2 = 4.84, p = 0.03), married (β = 0.32, p = 0.03; χ2 = 5.60, p = 0.02), and enjoyment of exercise (β = 0.36, p = 0.02). Fear of falling (β = −0.41, p = 0.01; χ2 = 4.29, p = 0.04), negative perception of health (β = −0.41, p = 0.02), perception of PD symptoms (χ2 = 12.45, p < 0.001), bad weather (χ2 = 5.06, p = 0.02), and lack of an exercise partner (χ2 = 13.39, p < 0.001) were negative predictors of exercise. Results from this study suggest that exercise programmes should work to make activities enjoyable, safe, and adaptable to the abilities of the individual. Programmes should also include social engagement. Parkinson's exercise programmes should be enjoyable. Parkinson's exercise programmes should include both social engagement and social support. Parkinson's exercise programmes should be safe and adaptable to the abilities of the participants. Parkinson's exercise programmes should aim to improve balance and reduce fear of falling. Individual exercise programmes can also be successful, many people with PD exercise alone with the most common form being walking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

PurposeInterventions focused on singing may provide additional benefits to established voice and respiratory therapies, due to their greater emphasis on the respiratory muscle control system in those with Parkinson’s disease (PD) progresses. The purpose of this study was to examine if singing can improve voice, respiratory pressure and quality of life (QOL) in persons with PD.MethodsThis pilot study measured the effects of a singing intervention in 27 participants with PD. Participants were assigned to a high (met twice weekly) or low (met once weekly) dosage group. Voice, respiratory and QOL measures were recorded before and after an 8-week singing intervention. Sessions were led by board-certified music therapists and included a series of vocal and articulation exercises and group singing.ResultsBoth groups demonstrated significant improvements in maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure, as well as phonation time. While other voice measures improved, they did not reach statistical significance. Voice QOL and whole health QOL also significantly improved.ConclusionThese results suggest singing may be a beneficial and engaging treatment choice for improving and maintaining vocal function and respiratory pressure in persons with PD. Implications for RehabilitationIn a small sample, group singing proved beneficial for improving voice and respiratory impairment in persons with Parkinson’s disease.Completing group singing one time per week for 8 weeks was as effective as completing group singing two times per week for 8 weeks in persons with Parkinson’s disease.Group singing is an effective means of improving overall quality of life in persons with Parkinson’s disease.
