Brief Summary: This is an exploratory study to assess the impact of whole body vibration on backward walking speed in people with Parkinson disease
Detailed Description: This study will provide valuable information towards the relationship between backward walking using the 3-minute backward walk test and whole body vibration WBV The 3MBWT has shown to have diagnostic accuracy for fall prediction in older adults The 3MBWT has been found to be feasible within the acute stroke population In a study the 3MBWT revealed that in the geriatric population a score of more than 45 seconds were likely to report a fall history Gait parameters including a decrease in gait velocity p001 have been found to worsen while performing dual tasks serial-7 subtraction in individuals with PD Research has shown when compared to other cognitive tests the serial sevens tests increased the time required to perform the Timed Up and Go in individuals with PD

This study will use a control group performing mid-squats on level ground and an intervention group performing mid-squats on a WBV machine Each group will perform 5 sets of mid-squats for 60 seconds with a 60 second rest period between each set Pre and post testing will involve three trials of the 3MBWT

The purpose of this study is to determine the immediate impact of WBV on backward walking velocity in individuals diagnosed with PD
