Relationship Between Each of the Four Major Motor Symptoms and At-Home Physical Activity in Individuals with Parkinson's Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) often experience four major motor symptoms-tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability/gait disorder. Although these symptoms have been shown to affect activities of daily living, their impact on the level of at-home physical activity (PA) in this population remains unexplored. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the four major motor symptoms of PD and at-home PA in these individuals. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 17 individuals with PD. We examined the relationship between the Movement Disorder Society-sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part 3 score and the time spent in three PA intensities (sedentary behavior, light PA [LPA
