Executive dysfunction represents a common non-motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD), with substantial negative impact on daily functioning and quality of life.

The limitations traditional neuropsychological tests have led to increased use virtual reality 360° environment-based for the assessment EFs real study aims evaluate efficacy usability EXecutive-Functions Innovative Tool (EXIT 360°), 360°-based tool evaluation PD. Twenty-five individuals PD 25 healthy controls (HC) will be assessed conventional battery EXIT delivered via head-mounted display. show domestic scenario seven different subtasks increasing complexity, collect verbal responses, reaction times, physiological data. We expect that judged usable, engaging, challenging. Moreover, we find highly convergent (conventional test 360°) diagnostic validity (individuals vs. HC). validation allow adoption fast, ecological, useful instrument screening, likely transforming clinic patient.
