Parkinson's physical therapy: in clinic vs. at home
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares in-person physical therapy with a home exercise program you can do using a computer or tablet. It aims to see if remote therapy works as well as coming to the clinic, which could make it easier for you to get the help you need.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
