Table 6

Results of the two-way mixed-design ANOVA with GROUP (theatre; controls) as between subjects’ factor and TIME () as within subjects’ factor, comparing scores of clinical scales (or subscales, top part of the table) and of neuropsychological tests (lower part of the table). Asterisk () indicates subscales of Parkinson’s Disease Quality of Life Scale (PDQ39). represents the partial eta-squared; values higher than 0.14 indicate strong effect sizes (see Section 2.5 for further details). values less than 0.05 as well as the corresponding and values are indicated in bold. Unified UPDRS: Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale; GFQ: Gait and Falls Questionnaire; PDSS: Parkinson’s Disease Sleep Scale; TR: time for reading words; TC: time for naming color; TI: time for naming color during interference.
