BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with motor and non-motor symptoms affecting the quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the Lee Silverman Voice Therapy (LSVT)-BIG rehabilitation program via telerehabilitation on quality of life, motor and non-motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD), and their correlation with each other.

METHODS: Fifteen patients with mild-to-moderate PD (Hoehn and Yahr stages 1-3) were included in the LSVT-BIG exercise program with remote access for 16 sessions over four weeks. Motor and non-motor experiences before and after the program were evaluated with MDS-UPDRS parts 1, 2, and 3 and quality of life with PDQ-39. The correlation between MDS-UPDRS parts and PDQ-39 subgroups was examined.

RESULTS: Following the application of the LSVT-BIG rehabilitation program with remote access, MDS-UPDRS parts 1, 2, and 3 scores and PDQ-39 summary index (PDQ-39 SI) and subgroup scores (excluding social support) were improved. A moderate-strong correlation was determined between MDS-UPDRS parts 1 and 2 and the PDQ-39 parameters of the patients.

CONCLUSION: Both motor and non-motor symptoms may be associated with the quality of life in PD. We have concluded that LSVT-BIG treatment via telerehabilitation can improve motor and non-motor symptoms along with the quality of life in PwPD.
