Objective
Mobility limitations and falls are common in people with Parkinson’s disease (PwP). Compared with exercise alone, a tailored, multidomain intervention has the potential to be more effective in improving mobility safety and preventing falls. This study aimed to explore the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a multidomain fall prevention intervention (Integrate) designed for PwP who experience frequent falls.
Methods
The home-based intervention was delivered over a span of 6 months by occupational therapists and physiotherapists. The personalized intervention included home fall hazard reduction, exercise, and safer mobility behavior training. The participants received 8 to 12 home visits and were supported by care-partners (when necessary) to participate in the intervention.
Results
Twenty-nine people (recruitment rate: 49%; drop-out rate: 10%) with moderate to advanced Parkinson’s disease, a history of recurrent falls, and mild to moderate cognitive impairment participated in the study, with 26 people completing the study. A moderate-to-high adherence to the intervention was observed, and there were no adverse events related to the intervention. Twenty-one (81%) participants met or exceeded their safer mobility goal based on the Goal Attainment Scale. The participants exhibited a median 1.0-point clinically meaningful improvement according to the Short Physical Performance Battery. An exploratory analysis revealed that fall rates were reduced by almost 50% in the 6-month follow-up period (incidence rate ratio: 0.51; 95% confidence interval 0.28–0.92).
Conclusion
A multidomain occupational therapy and physiotherapy intervention for PwP experiencing recurrent falls was feasible and appeared to improve mobility safety. A randomized trial powered to detect the effects of the intervention on falls and mobility is warranted.

Abstract PDF

Circadian disruption is being increasingly recognized as a critical factor in the development and progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This review aims to provide an in-depth overview of the relationship between circadian disruption and PD by exploring the molecular, cellular, and behavioral aspects of this interaction. This review will include a comprehensive understanding of how the clock gene system and transcription–translation feedback loops function and how they are diminished in PD. The article also discusses the role of clock genes in the regulation of circadian rhythms, as well as the impact of clock gene dysregulation on mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, including the microbiota-gut-brain axis, which have all been proposed as being crucial mechanisms in the pathophysiology of PD. Finally, this review highlights potential therapeutic strategies targeting the clock gene system and circadian rhythm for the treatment of PD.
