Functional improvement related to enrolment in a Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation program
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with manifestations such as tremors, rigidity and bradykinesia. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of outpatient multidisciplinary rehabilitation. METHODS: 179 patients participated in the six-week program. The following outcomes were measured: Timed Up and Go (TUG), sit to stand five times (STSx5) and in 30 seconds (STS30), six minute walk distance (6MWD) and gait velocity (6MWV), MOCA, bilateral grip strength, 360-degree turn (360 R, 360 L) and bilateral nine hole peg test. Pre- and post- data was analyzed via paired t-tests. Multiple regression was used to determine age- or gender-affected outcomes. RESULTS: Patients showed a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05) in all outcomes. Mean TUG improved by 1.63 seconds (s), STSx5 by 4.19s, STS30 by 2.37 repetitions, 6MWD by 66.8 metres, 6MWV by 0.15 m/s, MOCA by 1.50 points, 360 R by 1.17s, 360 L by 1.60s, Grip R by 0.78 kg, Grip L by 0.95 kg, 9HP R by 1.71s and 9HP L by 1.58s. Gender had no influence. Age was a statistically significant predictor in STSx5 and 6MW. CONCLUSIONS: An outpatient multidisciplinary program successfully decreased motor impairment and increased overall functional independence in PD.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
