Abstract

We investigated the effects of communal exercise intervention no functional fitness and brain activation, for 29 female patients of PD (Parkinson’s disease). The subjects were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group(n=9); communal exercise group using the smart phone application(n=10); and an individual exercise group, also using the smart phone application(n=10). The exercise program consisted of warm up(10 min) , exercise with the smart app.(40 min), and cool down(10 min). The exercise program was performed 3 days a per week for 10 weeks. In the present result, strength of lower limbs were significantly increased among exercise groups and interaction. Flexibility of upper and lower limbs and static balance were significantly increased time and interaction. Fp1, Fp2, F3, F4 of alpha wave were significantly increased among groups, time and interaction. However T3, T4 of alpha wave were significantly increased interaction but P3, P4 of alpha wave were no significantly among groups, time and interaction. These finding indicates that a 10 weeks of group communal exercise program using a smart app. can be effective, in terms of, on improving functional fitness and brain activation, for patient with PD.
