Study Summary

Parkinson disease is a degenerative neurologic condition characterized by slowness of movement, tremor, and loss of balance control. It results in significant degrees of disability for affected individuals. Exercise and medication management are two treatments frequently used to treat Parkinson disease, and although some individuals benefit from these treatments, by what effect exercise works is presently not known. We will examine muscle structure and movement control responses to strengthening exercises and compare them to the therapeutic response observed as a result of medication intake. This process will allow us to better understand the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of strengthening exercise for persons with Parkinson disease.
