Abstract

Functional mobility (FM) is the ability of people to move in different environments, including at home, at work, and in the community, in order to perform functional activities or tasks, independently and safely. Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate which motor and/or non-motor symptoms (severity of the motor symptoms, depressive symptoms, and fatigue) have the greatest impact on FM assessed by Modified Parkinson Activity Scale (mPAS) in individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Method: The outcome of interest was FM assessed by mPAS, which includes 14 activities covering three domains (chair transfers, gait akinesia, and bed mobility). Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Parkinson’s Disease Fatigue Scale-16 (PFS-16) were used. Results: Forty-four individuals (age: 65±11 years) with PD (PD duration: 7±4 years) were eligible to take part in this cross-sectional, exploratory study. The motor symptoms alone explained 36% (F= 17.85, p<0.001) of the variance in the FM scores. When depressive symptoms were included in the model, the explained variance increased to 45% (F= 12.77, p<0.001). This indicated that individuals who had lower motor and depressive symptoms were less likely to have limitations in FM. Conclusion: The findings of the present study demonstrated that motor symptoms were the best potential predictor of FM in individuals with PD, according to mPAS scores. Additionally, the presence of depressive symptoms should not be overlooked.
