SUMMARY

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological condition which affects more than 145,000 people in the United Kingdom (UK) today. The main symptoms are tremor (uncontrolled shaking), slowness of movement and difficulty starting movements (termed 'freezing'). Daily exercise is recommended to help with these symptoms. Rehabilitation can help to maintain a person's balance, ability to walk and help to prevent falls. This can allow people living with Parkinson's to maintain their independence for longer. Rehabilitation is usually carried out at face-to-face appointments in outpatient departments in hospitals. STROLLL (www.strolll.co) is a company that have created a programme of activities called Cue X, to be used on augmented reality glasses. Augmented reality glasses merge computer generated images and sounds with the real world. Cue X has been created specifically to help people with Parkinson's. We are aiming to recruit 50 participants through referrals from specialist doctors, nurses and physiotherapists in Leeds Teaching Hospitals National Health Service (NHS) Trust. We will ask these health care professionals to give potential participants an information sheet outlining the project. A more detailed participant information sheet will be sent by post or email to those interested. There will be an initial hospital appointment where written consent will be asked for and an initial assessment completed. Participants will do a personalised, daily rehabilitation programme using Cue X on augmented reality glasses for 6 weeks at home (monitored remotely by a physiotherapist). A final assessment and review will be done in hospital. The purpose of this project is to see if people with Parkinson's can use the glasses and do exercises in their own homes. Benefits could include fewer trips to the hospital for appointments and a more engaging way of participating in rehabilitation. If successful, this could lead further research into this technology as a new way of delivering rehabilitation.
