Brief Summary:
Parkinsons improvement Activated by Hula Understanding PAHU a pilot study will evaluate the feasibility of hula program on patients with Parkinsons disease PD Hula combines several aspects-moderate physical activity cardiovascular risk reduction social support opportunities and other stress-reducing qualities that have potential to prevent further neurodegeneration improve balance and mobility help non-motor symptoms and quality of life of PD patients in a sustainable and relatable fashion The investigators will create a hula program specifically to the needs of patients with PD with mobility difficulty as a non-pharmacological intervention and conduct a pilot study to test the feasibility of such program The investigators will learn from leaders of the Dance for PD NYC an internationally acclaimed program offering a range of dance classes for PD patients as well as other key informants The investigators will create once a week hula program for 3 months for PD patients and assess the feasibility of such program Participants will undergo motor testing before and after the hula program and will be interviewed for their feedback
Detailed Description:
Parkinsons Disease PD is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimers disease that is characterized by both motor and non-motor manifestations that leads to significant disability morbidity and mortality The risk of PD increases with age with a prevalence of approximately 1-2 of the population over 65-years-old The economical physical and psychological burden of PD on patients caregivers families and society is enormous Currently there is no cure for PD Available treatments for PD eg medication and surgery are focused on symptom control and do not fully address certain motor symptoms such as balance and voice or non-motor symptoms such as apathy depression and anxiety Identification of effective treatments that addresses balance and voice as well as non-motor symptoms quality of life and wellbeing is an unmet need for PD patients Recent research has shown that exercise including dance can have positive effects on gait speed strength balance and quality of life for individuals with PD However less is known regarding how to translate and implement these promising results from short term non-pharmacological intervention into the lifestyle of patients suffering a chronic disease with mobility and cognitive difficulty Hula the traditional dance of Native Hawaiians and a hallmark of Hawaiian culture has a potential to be a culturally aligned relatable and sustainable intervention for PD patients in Hawaii Hula may even have broader potential for all PD patients
Parkinsons improvement Activated by Hula Understanding PAHU will evaluate the impact of hula on patients with PD Previous studies done in Hawaii have shown hula to be an effective and meaningful non-pharmacological intervention for patients with cardiovascular disease with improvements in physical functioning and HRQOL Increasing evidence suggests that cardiovascular burden can either add to the brain health comorbidity andor have a synergistic effect on neurodegeneration Reduction of cardiovascular risk may contribute to improved health outcomes in PD patients Thus hula combines several aspects-moderate physical activity cardiovascular risk reduction social support opportunities and other stress-reducing qualities that have potential to prevent further neurodegeneration improve balance and mobility help non-motor symptoms and quality of life of PD patients in a sustainable and relatable fashion The investigators will create a hula program specifically tailored to the needs of PD patients with mobility difficulty as a non-pharmacological intervention To do this investigators will learn from leaders of the Dance for PD which was launched in NYC in 2001 and is now an internationally acclaimed program offering a range of dance classes for PD patients and incorporate their methodology into our hula intervention The investigators will build on prior work in Hawaii and ensure that the hula program integrated the cultural and conceptual heart of hula by interviewing other key informants In this pilot the investigators will evaluate the feasibility safety resource needs and effectiveness of the 3-month hula intervention in a pilot study for people with mild to moderate PD This pilot study will be a prospective single arm cohort study with no control group The hula classes will be delivered in a group setting for one 1 hour once a week for 3 months 12 total classes Participants will undergo motor testing before and after the hula program and will be interviewed for their feedback
