Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Parkinson's Disease

In brief

This experiment seeks to determine whether individuals with PD will benefit from vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride), B12 (cyanocobalamin), and Folic Acid supplementation, whether they will benefit from a 6-week circuit training program, or whether they will benefit from a combination of the two interventions. The outcome variables will include: plasma homocysteine, GSH:GSSG ratio, cognitive function, balance, strength, functional activities, kinematic gait analysis, and a quality of life questionnaire.
