About this trial
The aim of this study is to examine the benefits that individuals with Parkinson's disease will gain from the rehabilitation program by enabling them to manage their exercise times independently using telerehabilitation method.
The main research questions examined in this study are as follows:
* Are the improvements in quality of life, walking speed and changes in functionality parameters achieved by individuals with Parkinson's disease through managing their own exercise plans as effective as those achieved through a supervised exercise programme? * Is it effective for Parkinson's patients to manage their own exercise plans in improving their adherence to exercise?

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change in motor impairment
The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) is used to determine the symptoms and clinical severity of PD. The UPDRS-III subscore will be used to assess changes in motor impairment.
Time frame
Baseline and the end of the 8 weeks exercise program2
Change in behavioral regulations in exercise
Behavioral Regulations in Exercise Questionnaire-2 consists of 19 items and five subscales. The subscales consist of external regulation, internalized regulation, defined regulation, internal regulation and lack of motivation. It is a 5-point Likert-type scale scored between 0-4.
Time frame
Baseline and the end of the 8 weeks exercise program3
Change in lower extremity power and endurance
Five Times Sit to Stand Test will be used to measure repetitive movement performance. The patient will be asked to sit down and stand up 5 times as quickly as possible, and this time will be recorded in seconds.
Time frame
Baseline and the end of the 8 weeks exercise program4
Change in walking speed
10-Meter Walk Test will be applied to assess walking speed. The first 2 meters of the 14-meter distance are allocated for acceleration, the last 2 meters for deceleration, and the time taken to walk the 10-meter distance is recorded. Walking speed is calculated in meters per second.
