Study Summary

Many patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) will encounter difficulties with balance, posture, and gait for which physical therapy (PT) has been shown to be beneficial. The purpose of this study is to randomize patients between standard "burst" PT versus "spaced" PT to inform on the optimal frequency of PT for PD patients. Burst PT in this study was defined as 2 PT visits per week for 6 weeks (12 sessions) and spaced PT, as 1 PT visit every other week for 6 months (12 sessions).

Primary Outcome

The TUG test is a validated and reliable tool to assess balance and mobility in Parkinson's disease. It has been used as an outcome measure in many trials involving PT and exercise in PD and is frequently included in standard PT visits. Patients wear their regular footwear and can use a walking aid, if needed. Patient starts the test sitting back in a standard arm chair and identify a line 3 meters, or 10 feet away, on the floor. Once examiner says go. the patient has to get up from the chair, w
