研究表明,身体活动对患有帕金森氏症(PLwP)的人有一系列好处,提高肌肉力量,balance,灵活性,走路,以及情绪等非运动症状。帕金森节拍是一种有氧击鼓,特别适用于PLwP,并且不需要以前的经验和技能。19名PLwP(年龄在55至80岁之间)亲自或在线参加了常规的帕金森节拍会议。焦点小组讨论在十二周后进行,以了解帕金森氏症的影响。通过框架分析,产生了六个主题和十五个子主题。参与者报告了有氧击鼓的一系列好处,包括改善健身和运动,积极的情绪,流动体验,增进社会福祉。还报告了一些参与障碍。未来的研究是合理的,并且需要最佳实践指南来告知医疗保健专业人员,PLwP和他们的照顾者。
Research has shown that physical activity has a range of benefits for people living with Parkinson\'s (PLwP), improving muscle strength, balance, flexibility, and walking, as well as non-motor symptoms such as mood. Parkinson\'s Beats is a form of cardio-drumming, specifically adapted for PLwP, and requires no previous experience nor skills. Nineteen PLwP (aged between 55 and 80) took part in the regular Parkinson\'s Beats sessions in-person or online. Focus group discussions took place after twelve weeks to understand the impacts of Parkinson\'s Beats. Through the framework analysis, six themes and fifteen subthemes were generated. Participants reported a range of benefits of cardio-drumming, including improved fitness and movement, positive mood, the flow experience, and enhanced social wellbeing. A few barriers to participation were also reported. Future research is justified, and best practice guidelines are needed to inform healthcare professionals, PLwP and their care givers.
