Behaviour Change for Parkinson's Disease: A Randomised Controlled Feasibility Study to Promote Physical Activity and Exercise Adherence Among People with Parkinson's Disease.

Objective: Exercise reduces fall risk, sarcopenia and frailty in Parkinson's disease, but motor and non-motor symptoms hinder adherence. This study aimed to feasibility test an exercise intervention with behaviour change techniques, examining recruitment, procedures, and measure responsiveness.

Methods: A mixed-methods parallel-arm, single-blinded, randomized feasibility study.

'I Knew Nothing About Parkinson's': Insights into Receiving a Diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease and the Impact of Self-Management, Self-Care, and Exercise Engagement, from People with Parkinson's and Family Members' Perspectives: Qualitative Study.

Unlabelled: This paper draws on stories of receiving the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, which emerged from a broader narrative study exploring beliefs about exercise and challenges facing people with Parkinson's disease.

Background/objectives: By interviewing people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) and their family members, this paper aimed to gain insights into PwPD's experiences with diagnosis, its influence on exercise engagement, and access to services in Ireland.

Methods: This study employed a qualitative research design, using purposeful and maximum variation sampling.

"Exercise… to Me, It's Freedom": Motivation, Support, and Self-Management to Keep Physically Active with Parkinson's Disease: A Qualitative Study.

The benefits of exercise have been widely explored among people with Parkinson's (PwP). Exercise can improve non-motor (fatigue, pain, sleep, etc.) and motor features (balance, muscle strength, gait speed, etc.

Behavioural change for Parkinson's Disease: A randomised controlled feasibility study to promote physical activity and exercise adherence among people with Parkinson's: study protocol.

Background: Parkinson's is a common progressive neurological condition characterized by motor and non-motor deficits. Physical activity and exercise can improve health, but many people with Parkinson's (PwP) have trouble reaching the recommended dosage. Our recent literature review found improvements in exercise adherence with behavioural change interventions, but it remains unclear which are most effective.

A systematic review of Behaviour Change Interventions to improve exercise self-efficacy and adherence in people with Parkinson's disease using the Theoretical Domains Framework.

Physical activity and exercise can limit the development of sarcopenia in Parkinson's Disease. This review aims to evaluate the potential effects of behavioural change (BC) interventions on exercise self-efficacy and adherence in people with Parkinson's. We searched nine databases and included randomised and non-randomised studies reporting exercise self-efficacy, quality of life (QoL), physical function and/or exercise adherence.

Implementation strategies to support fall prevention interventions in long-term care facilities for older persons: a systematic review.

Background: Falls are common among older people in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). Falls cause considerable morbidity, mortality and reduced quality of life. Of numerous interventional studies of fall prevention interventions in LTCFs, some reduced falls.

Can behavioural change interventions improve self-efficacy and exercise adherence among people with Parkinson's? A systematic review protocol.

People with Parkinson's (PwP) have a higher tendency to adopt sedentary lifestyle behaviours and have lower physical activity levels compared to their healthy peers. Previous research has indicated that personal factors including poor outcome expectation and low self-efficacy are stronger predictors of exercise adherence than disease severity. The purpose of this review is to synthesize the best available evidence on interventions that encompass self-management strategies to overcome barriers to exercise and improve self-efficacy and exercise adherence among PwP.

Effect of Functional Rehabilitation on Performance of the Star Excursion Balance Test Among Recreational Athletes With Chronic Ankle Instability: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To determine (1) the effectiveness of rehabilitation for chronic ankle instability as measured by the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) and (2) the relative efficacy and the long-term effects of these rehabilitation interventions.

Data Sources: Ten electronic databases were searched (2009-2019).

Study Selection: Included articles were randomized controlled trials in English investigating recreational athletes aged ≥18 years with chronic ankle instability.
