From: Quantitative clinical assessment of motor function during and following LSVT-BIG® therapy
(a) i10MW time, (b) iTUG time (c) iSTS counts for CONHealth, PDLSVT and CONPD subjects. To control for inter-group variation at baseline, values displayed are normalised with respect to the mean CONHealth value, mean PDLSVT value at Pre2, and mean CONPD value at Wk1, for each group respectively. In contrast to PDLSVT subjects undergoing therapy, CONPD subjects performing the same experimental protocol over a four-week period did not show a consistent improvement in the (a) i10MW, (b) iTUG, or (c) iSTS tasks. Results of the mixed-model ANOVA indicate that subjects participating in LSVT- BIG® achieve significantly better scores than a non-exercising control group in the i10MW (p < 0.001) and iTUG (p = 0.004) tasks over a four-week period
