Protocol summary

Study aim
Investigating the added value of cognitive task training on a multi directional treadmill training program on gait parameters in Parkinson’s disease.
Design
clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, an assessor blind, randomized by block randomization, phase 2 on 32 patients is designed. Follow-up will be done two months after the end of the study.
Settings and conduct
The added effect of performing cognitive exercises on multi directional treadmill on gait characteristics in patients with Parkinson's disease is investigated in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences. Blindness is such that the assessor and analyst will not know about each person's therapeutic intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients with idiopathic Parkinson's in the moderate stage will be entered, then inclusion criteria (moderate disease level, walk independently at least 6 minutes, MOCA≤24) and exclusion criteria (other neurological problems such as stroke,severe neuropathy, orthopedic problems, severe respiratory, heart diseases, etc.) is appropriate and if they wish to participate, by completing the informed consent form in the study Will participate.
Intervention groups
During 6 weeks, a group of patients will receive the intervention: walking on a treadmill with a dual cognitive task (in the form of subtracting 3 from the announced number and naming words with a choice letter such as "M" ). The other group will walk on the treadmill alone for 6 weeks. The intervention will be 3 times a week and each session will last approximately 30 minutes.
Main outcome variables
stride length, walking speed, percentage difference between stride length and walking speed, cognitive and motor function

Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease according to United Kingdom(UK)Bank patients in Hoehn and Yahr scale (H&Y I-III) stages of Parkinson's disease patients should be MED on state patients should be able to independent walking at least for 6 min based on Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA)≤24 for cognitive system
Exclusion criteria:
other neurological disorders such as CVA, Alzheimer, severe neuropathic impairments A history of any serious orthopedic problems such as surgery or fractures that prevent you from walking on the treadmill Existence of any severe respiratory and pulmonary diseases that prevent the intervention protocol Having a history of heart failure or coronary heart disease and stroke that prevents the intervention protocol Existence of hearing and vision impairment that prevents the correct performance of tests History of head and neck surgery History of Deep Brain Stimulation History of malignant diseases that prevent the intervention protocol Musculoskeletal pain that prevents the intervention protocol Participate in exercise programs such as treadmills for at least the past two months

Sample size
Target sample size: 32
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Assignment of patients in two groups of treadmill and treadmill + cognitive exercise was done by Block Balanced Randomization (BBR) method. The Randomization Sequence is generated with using the free web site at http://www.randomization.com. Non-transparent and sealed envelopes will be used to conceal the assignment of individuals to groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
The assessor will not be aware of which intervention will be administered to which subject. The data analyzer also does not know the groups (treadmill or treadmill+cognitive exercise).
Placebo
Not used
Assignment
Parallel
Other design features
All participants are entered to study by neurologists. According to related past studies the sample size estimated 28 subjects (14 subjects per groups) and with considering the 20% attrition with ratio of 1:1 (treadmill group:treadmill+cognitive exercise group) for each of group at least 16 subjects were considered. Assignment of people to groups will be based on the Block Balanced Randomization (BBR) method. After two months from the end of the study, follow up will be performed in both study groups.

Description
Intervention group : The people in the intervention group will be treated with treadmill exercise+cognitive exercises for 6 weeks. They will walk on treadmill in all four directions. Exercises in the intervention group will be offered 3 times a week, each training session lasts about 30 minutes(5min warm-up,20min exercising[7min forward,7min backward,3min right sideway,3min left sideway],5min cooldown). Cognitive exercising will be counting backwards from 100 by subtracting 3’s, Naming words starting with a special letter such as M. All training sessions will be performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist.
