Study Summary
Problems with balance and walking that affect mobility are an inevitable cause of decreased quality of life in older people with chronic neurologic conditions such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Although there is evidence that exercise can improve mobility in the elderly, the investigators don't know: 1) What is the best mode of exercise intervention delivery (i.e. individual therapy in a clinic, home exercise program, or a group class)? and 2) how do other problems common in people with PD and/or the elderly affect outcomes? Although most physical therapy is carried out individually, a group or home program would be most cost-effective so the investigators need to know if they are just as effective. Since most older people with chronic neurologic diseases also have other problems affecting mental function, muscles and joints and/or pain, it is important to understand how these other problem affect the success of their therapy. The purpose of this study is to investigate how PT intervention should be delivered to patients with chronic neurologic disease who also have other problems. The investigators will using elderly people with PD who have one or more co-morbidities associated with PD and/or aging. Sixty people PD and co-morbidities will be randomized into 1of 3 groups; home program, individual PT or group exercise class. Each of the 3 groups will be led by the same PT providing a novel sensory-motor agility program developed by our laboratory. All groups will perform the same type of exercises 3 X/week for 4 weeks. Improvement in the Physical Performance Test of disability will be used to determine the success of therapy. To determine how and why mobility was improved by therapy, changes in gait, balance, and quality of life will be measured. Gait and balance will be measured with new, wearable motion sensors (iPOD size) while standing up from a chair, walking, turning around and sitting back down. The findings from this study will help guide rehabilitation treatm
