Official title
Investigation of the Validity and Reliability of the 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test in Parkinson's Patients for Upper Extremity Endurance Assessments
Overview
Tests used to assess upper extremity endurance in Parkinson\'s patients are limited. This study aimed to investigate whether the 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6-MPRT), which has been validated in many respiratory disease groups in previous studies, is an endurance assessment battery that can also be used in Parkinson\'s patients. 6-MPRT, Weight Lifting Test, and 30-Second Arm Curl Test will be applied in the assessments. Assessments will be made twice on the same day by two different evaluators, 1 hour apart. After the first evaluation, the patient will be called for the second time 2 days later, and the same procedure will be repeated.
Primary outcome measures
- 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test [Time frame: Baseline of the study (Assessor 1)]
- 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test [Time frame: 2 days after the baseline assessment (Assessor 1)]
- 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test [Time frame: Baseline of the study (Assessor 2)]
- 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test [Time frame: 2 days after the baseline assessment (Assessor 2)]
- 30-Second Arm Curl Test [Time frame: Baseline of the study]
- Weight Lifting Test [Time frame: Baseline of the study (Assessor 2)]
