Perceptions of digitally supported home exercise for people with Parkinson's disease: A qualitative study.
Article in Clinical rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDigitally supported home exercise offers the potential to expand accessibility to rehabilitation. However, little is known about how people with Parkinson's disease experience performing home exercise programs using digital delivery.
objectiveTo explore and describe how people with Parkinson's disease perceive digital home-based exercise that is not supported in real-time, and how it affected their everyday lives.
methodsThis study was qualitative in nature, using qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach. In-depth, individual, semi-structured interviews were held with 14 participants with Parkinson's disease.
resultsTwo overarching themes were formed: "Active agency in the face of uncertainty" and "The home - safe space or disability on display". The overarching themes were formed by four themes: 1) resisting the disease - a hope and a burden, 2) interpreting mixed messages, 3) home exercise - consideration and responsibility, and 4) the social context - judgement and support. Participants with Parkinson's disease believe that home exercise enables them to actively counter the disease, and this belief serves as both a source of hope but also a burden. Although perceived as advantageous, digitally supported home exercise may also incur becoming vulnerable to exposing one's disability.
conclusionsPeople with Parkinson's disease struggle to reconcile their beliefs about exercise with that which is encouraged or discouraged by those around them. Exercise in the home involves a dynamic interplay between achieving self-directed goals while trying to balance social consideration and maintaining integrity of identity.
