Home exercise therapy versus clinic visits for newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease

This is a pilot study testing whether physical therapy can help people in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. The study compares two approaches: one group will do guided exercises at home using a telehealth device, and another group will do self-directed exercises at home. Researchers want to learn which approach works better, is easier to stick with, and improves quality of life and movement.

Early treatment with physical therapy may help slow symptoms and improve daily function in people newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. This study exists to see if home-based exercise programs—which are convenient and accessible—can be just as effective as traditional in-person therapy visits.
