Comparison of results of each variable pre- and post-isolation period. Data are given as median values with 1st and 3rd quartiles (25- and 75-percentile, respectively Q1 and Q3)

Note. aWilcoxon signed-rank test or bt-test for continuous variable and McNemar test for discrete variable. MDS-UPDRS Part III = MDS-Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale - part III; Mini-BESTest = Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test. 6MWT = Six-minute walk test; NFOG-Q = New Freezing of Gait Questionnaire. MoCA = Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale; PD-CFRS = Parkinson’s disease cognitive functional rating scale; ADL = Activities of Daily Living questionnaire; IADL = Instrumental Activities of Daily Living questionnaire; BMI = Body Mass Index; PDQ-39 = Parkinson’s disease Quality of Life Questionnaire. cPost-hoc power analysis. Achieved power was calculated based on Cohen’s dz and an α error probability of 0.2
