Pirates "POWER" over Parkinson's: A PWR!Moves? Exercise Class in Eastern North Carolina

We will utilize an interdisciplinary PWR!Moves? group exercise class facilitated and taught by a physical and occupational therapist, both trained and specializing in Parkinson?s Disease (PD) at East Carolina University (ECU). Physical and occupational therapy students will also be utilized to maintain participant safety with guarding as needed, and to train future PD practitioners. Our program will provide a one-hour group exercise class once a week for individuals with PD in our region. The program will take place for 8-weeks in the fall of 2024 and 8-weeks in the spring of 2025. We will also provide an individual pre-assessment and post-assessment, with an occupational therapist (OT) and physical therapist (PT).
