ACUTE EFFECTS OF CYCLING ON SENSORY AND MOTOR FUNCTION IN PARKINSON’S DISEASE (158 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Angela L. Ridgel, Ph.D. High cadence cycling generates significant improvements in the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The mechanisms underlying these enhancements remain unknown. It is plausible that it generates afferent proprioceptive input. The purpose of this paper was to assess the effects of high cadence dynamic cycling on sensorimotor function, fatigue, and motivation. Twenty-two participants (N = 22, 11M/11F, 66+/-13 yo) with idiopathic PD completed two 40-minute bout of cycling. Each participant performed joint repositioning, UPDRS-III, Nine Hole Peg Test (HPT), 30 second sit-to-stand (30STS), Parkinson’s fatigue survey (PFS) and the intrinsic motivation index (IMI) before and after each cycling session. Joint repositioning demonstrated a significant interaction of condition versus time (p = 0.031) in the dynamic condition. UPDRS-III showed a main effect of time (p < .001, 20% improvement) but no interactions. Upper extremity UPDRS-III analysis showed that the dynamic condition resulted in a 32% Improvement. The 9HPT test failed to show any interactions or main effects. PFS displayed a significant interaction of dynamic condition versus time (p = .037). Perceived competence subscale of the IMI showed significant interaction of dynamic condition versus time (p = .017) and main effect of condition (p = .029). Pressure and tension subscale of the IMI demonstrated significant interaction of dynamic condition versus time (p = .031) and a main effect of dynamic condition (p = .019). Dynamic cycling elicited statistically and clinically significant improvements. Further inquiries regarding mechanisms underlying the improvements are warranted.
