Validity of the 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test in Parkinson's Patients

Investigation of the Validity and Reliability of the 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test in Parkinson's Patients for Upper Extremity Endurance Assessments

About This Trial

Tests used to assess upper extremity endurance in Parkinson\'s patients are limited. This study aimed to investigate whether the 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6-MPRT), which has been validated in many respiratory disease groups in previous studies, is an endurance assessment battery that can also be used in Parkinson\'s patients. 6-MPRT, Weight Lifting Test, and 30-Second Arm Curl Test will be applied in the assessments. Assessments will be made twice on the same day by two different evaluators, 1 hour apart. After the first evaluation, the patient will be called for the second time 2 days later, and the same procedure will be repeated.
