Hypothesis
This systematic review aims to describe speed-based interventions that have been employed for reducing bradykinesia in individuals with PD and verify their effects.
Conclusion
This systematic review will provide information regarding which types of speed-based interventions have been investigated for reducing bradykinesia in individuals with PD.
Takeaway
This study looks at exercises that help people with Parkinson's disease move faster and feel better. It wants to find out which exercises work best.
Methodology
This systematic review protocol was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA-P guidelines, with electronic searches performed in multiple databases for experimental studies on speed-based interventions for bradykinesia in PD.
Potential Biases
Risk of bias will be assessed using the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials and ROBINS-I for non-randomized studies.
Limitations
Qualitative studies and systematic reviews will be excluded, which may limit the comprehensiveness of the review.
Participant Demographics
Participants aged 18 or older with a diagnosis of PD in any level of severity according to the Hoehn and Yahr scale.
