Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of Valpar Component Work Sample on Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods From June, 2015 to June, 2017, 40 patients with PD were randomly divided into control group (n=20) and observation group (n=20). Both groups received routine treatment and occupational therapy, while the observation group accepted rehabilitation with Valpar Component Work Sample in addition, for eight weeks. They were assessed with Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Score II and III (UPDRSII and UPDRSIII), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) before and after treatment. Results The scores of UPDRSII, UPDRSIII, MMSE, HAMD, and HAMA, and Summary Index of PDQ-39 improved in both groups (t>2.864, P<0.05) after treatment, and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (t>2.237, P<0.05). Conclusion Combined with Valpar Component Work Sample may further improve the activities of daily living, motor, cognitive function, depression and anxiety, and then quality of life in patients with PD.
