Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Physical inactivity in Parkinson disease (PD) has an impact on motor and non-motor symptoms of the disease. It is unclear whether this decline in physical activity occurs early in the disease, in addition to any decline due to aging, and whether commercial activity monitors can be used to self-monitor physical activity levels in this population. OBJECTIVE: To compare the quantity and intensity of physical activity (PA), as measured by commercial activity monitors, in people with mild PD and healthy older adults (HOA). A secondary objective was to assess adherence and user experience with wearing the activity monitoring device. METHODS: An observational descriptive study design examined PA levels over a 14-day period using commercially-available activity monitors (Fitbit Charge HR). RESULTS: Individuals with PD (n = 30) and HOA (n = 30) both demonstrated high adherence with wear time (PD = 13.8 [0.5] days, HOA = 13.9 [0.4] days, p = 0.55). People with PD took fewer steps per day than HOA (PD = 6416.9 (2795.5), HOA = 11441.3 (3932.1), p < 0.001). Compared to HOA, individuals with PD spent fewer minutes per day engaged in moderate to vigorous intensity activity (PD = 33.0 (22.5), HOA = 72.0(37.3), p < 0.001) and more minutes per day sedentary (PD = 803.74 (154.9), HOA = 578.26 (103.7), p < 0.001). Both groups reported that ease of use and satisfaction with the activity monitor were high. CONCLUSIONS: People with mild PD demonstrated reduced quantity and intensity of PA compared to HOA. Both the PD and the HOA groups had good adherence wearing a commercial activity monitor that provided feedback regarding activity levels.
