PD-Ballet: Effectiveness and Implementation in Parkinson's Disease
Current literature consistently demonstrates beneficial motor effects of dance-based therapies in Parkinson's disease, along with improved quality of life. Little is known about the non-motor gains following such therapy. To date, no RTC has been conducted to investigate the benefits of ballet dancing in Parkinson's disease. The investigators aim to …

Multiple N-of-1 Trials of (Intermittent) Hypoxia Therapy in Parkinson's Disease (TALISMAN-1)
In recent years, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress have been implicated in PD pathophysiology. Intermittent hypoxia therapy (IHT) is an upcoming treatment used by elite athletes as well as fragile individuals in clinical settings that works by improving exercise tolerance, neuroplasticity and inducing hypoxic preconditioning (HPC). HPC might improve the …

Motor Learning in Parkinson's Disease: Underlying Effective Connectivity and Influential Factors
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by severe motor symptoms that can only be partially alleviated by medication. It was shown previously that rehabilitation is an important therapeutic supplement for micrographia in early disease. However, what is unknown is how motor learning impacts on the underlying neural networks in patients with …

Triggering Motor Memory Consolidation in PD: Complex Practice of Fine Motor Tasks and Brain Activity During Learning
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by severe motor symptoms, including upper limb dysfunction, that is only partially alleviated by medication. PD is also a motor learning disease due to the degradation of the striatum, involved in the consolidation of motor memory. We showed earlier that motor practice improves writing deficits …
