Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will investigate the impact of land based or aquatic based group exercise on the balance, walking, balance confidence, and quality of life of people with idiopathic Parkinson disease. Participants will be randomized to participate in a land based or aquatic based group exercise program 2 times per week for 12 weeks. Prior to and after participation, balance, walking, quality of life, and balance confidence will be measured by a blinded examiner.
