Community Exercise for Fall Risk in PD

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Parkinson Disease, Fall, Exercise

In brief

Parkinson's disease (PD) affects approximately 1 million people in the United States and causes significant fall risks. This study aims to develop a community-based exercise program that reduces falls in persons with PD. By combining individualized balance activities with group boxing training, the study seeks to identify modifiable risk factors, improve balance dysfunction, and reduce falls. The findings will inform clinical practice, offering a community-based exercise model to address the urgent need for effective fall prevention interventions in PD.
