Study Summary

In past work is has been shown that yoga can be as effective as a standard balance or Tai Chi protocol; however, there is an inability to distinguish between the mind and body contributions of yoga training. This study will compare an accepted proprioceptive training program to a meditation program which concentrates on body awareness in individuals with Parkinson's disease.

Primary Outcome

The joint position sense technique for the knee involves the reduction of visual cues while moving the knee to a specific target angle, holding that target angle, returning the knee to the starting position, and then reproducing that target angle.
