The Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire – Exercise now available!

21st June 2021

The PDQ-Exercise is the first exercise-specific Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire that can be administered to assess quality of life in studies and clinical trials centred around exercise therapy.

The PDQ-Exercise is a 7-item short questionnaire that can be administered as a stand-alone measure of quality of life in studies and clinical trials centred around exercise therapy or as a complement to the Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire (PDQ).

Despite the increasing prominence of exercise therapy in PD management, no self-report, Parkinson’s-specific measure of exercise existed, that was solely aimed at measuring these elements with adequate sensitivity. The PDQ-Exercise may help identify specific interventions and/or PD population groups for which exercise interventions will have the highest impact, levels of adherence, and compliance.

The PDQ-Exercise is now available from the Clinical Outcomes team at Oxford University Innovation.
