What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a home-based, high-intensity resistance exercise program combined with remote sleep monitoring for people living with Parkinson's Disease (PD). This study aims to adapt a previously tested laboratory exercise protocol for safe and effective use at home, addressing barriers like transportation and mobility. The research also explores how participants use a sleep-monitoring headband to better understand sleep quality and supports future remote therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative care. The intervention involves performing five upper and lower body resistance exercises, each with 10 repetitions for 3 sets, including additional bodyweight exercises between sets. The program is delivered remotely, allowing participants to exercise at home with internet access and a video-capable device. The study also assesses the usability and adherence to a sleep-monitoring headband worn at night. The exercise intervention lasts for three sessions, with participant feedback collected via surveys and interviews shortly after completion. Participants will complete acceptability surveys and semi-structured interviews within one week after finishing the exercise program to share their experiences and safety outcomes. The study monitors adherence to the exercise and sleep device use, participant exertion levels, and safety measures. The total study duration is based on completing the three exercise sessions and follow-up assessments, with the goal of developing accessible, home-based exercise and monitoring approaches for people with Parkinson's Disease.
