Abstract | Introduction: There is evidence to demonstrate that plasticity is "use-dependent" and that intensive practice may be necessary to modify neural organization. Purpose: The main aim of this work is to investigate the REACT usability, an innovative app, to assist People with Parkinson Disease (PwPD) at home. Methods: A pilot study has been conducted enrolling 20 consecutive PwPD. Before home rehabilitation activities started, each patient received training on the REACT app and how to use the device and the services in daily practice. Motor and cognitive evaluations were administered to assign personalized exercises, tailored to patients' needs and potential. PwPD carried out REACT home program for 1 month, four times a week. The app included motor exercise and tutorial of activities of daily living (ADL) and functional cognitive stimulation. REACT-app usability was evaluated with the System Usability Scale (SUS). Results: The results from SUS questionnaire were, on average, above the threshold of "good usability" (SUS score > 68), as reported in the literature. The 47% of PwPD that used the app rated the usability of the solution as "excellent." Almost all SUS items reached the reference benchmark (except items 4, 5, and 7). No adverse events occurred. Conclusions: REACT can be considered a useful and safe tool to support the continuity of care and treatment at home, in PwPD. Larger-scale trials are needed to validate the good acceptance and efficacy of home rehabilitation through technology applications. |
