Background: For people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD), high-intensity exercise in individual or group format can improve function and quality of life (QoL). Individualized virtual exercise programs have been effective for people with PD, but the feasibility and impact of group exercise in the virtual format has not been investigated.
Purpose: To compare the effect of individual and group virtual exercise on functional mobility and QoL for PwPD.
Background And Purpose: LSVT BIG therapy may improve motor function and gait in those with early Parkinson disease (PD), but its impact on postural control for those with moderate PD has not been investigated. The purpose of this case series is to describe the impact of LSVT BIG therapy on postural control and gait in three individuals with moderate PD.
Intervention: Three individuals with moderate PD, classified as stage 3 on the Hoehn and Yahr Scale, participated in the LSVT BIG therapy program.
