Brief Summary: The overarching aim is to determine the benefits of Parkinson-specific exercise programs and general exercise patterns on physical function and disease-related quality of life among people with Parkinson Disease PD The significance of this project is that millions of individuals experience adverse consequences of PD and there is strong evidence that structured exercise programs have beneficial effects on motor function and PD-related quality of life Participation in this study involves online surveys upon enrollment ie baseline and at 3 months 6 months 9 months 1 year and 2 years
Detailed Description: Parkinson Disease PD is a neurodegenerative disease that affects more than ten million people worldwide In the United States more than one million people are living with PD and more than 100000 new cases are diagnosed each year

Exercise to Ease the Burden of PD

Exercise is an adjunct to pharmacologic therapy for PD that has been shown in many intensive research studies to help improve motor and non-motor symptoms in PD A variety of Parkinson-specific exercise programs have been developed to help improve balance posture mobility strength endurance speech andor self-help skills These classes include various modes of exercise and different intensity levels tailored for patients personal characteristics and functional abilities

Current Gaps in Knowledge and Aim

The benefits of PD-specific exercise programs on physical function and disease-related quality of life have not been evaluated Furthermore many patients may not have access to PD-specific exercise programs The proposed project addresses these gaps by exploring associations between PD-specific exercise programs and several metrics of physical function and quality of life among individuals with PD In addition the investigators are studying associations among overall exercise patterns physical activity patterns physical function and quality of life among individuals with PD

Study Involvement

Participation in this study involves online surveys completed upon enrollment ie baseline and at 3 months 6 months 9 months 1 year and 2 years A family member caregiver or friend may help the participant complete the online surveys
