Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study is to develop, deliver, and test an online Alexander-based training program for people with Parkinson's disease and their care partners.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Six dyads, each consisting of a person with Parkinson's disease and their care partner, will participate in a real-time online course called "Poised for Parkinson's." The course will meet twice per week via Zoom for eighteen 105-minute sessions. Outcome measures, including surveys, interviews, balance, and motor performance, will be assessed the week before classes begin and the week after classes end.
