Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effects of sling exercise program involving coordination and functional training on cognitive function and physical performance in two patients with Parkinson’s disease dementia. The reversal design (A-B-A') of single-subject experimental design was used. In the intervention phase, sling exercise involving coordination and functional training were performed for 70 min/day daily for 24 days. Outcomes included the timed up and go test and sit-to-stand test that were measured immediately after the intervention, and the Mini-mental state examination, Berg balance scale, and 10-m walk test, 6-min walk test, modified Barthel index, and geriatric depression scale that were assessed before and after the intervention. The cognition, balance and walking abilities, activities of daily living and depression were remarkably increased after the intervention. These results demonstrate that the sling exercise program involving coordination and functional training may be helpful to improve cognition, physical performance, and depression of individuals with Parkinson’s disease dementia.
