Online vs. In-Person Physical Therapy for Parkinson's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of delivering LSVT BIG—a proven physical therapy program for Parkinson's disease—either through video calls at home or in-person visits. The goal is to see if both methods help people with Parkinson's stay active and improve movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
