Virtual Team Parkinson's Research Update!

Dr. Jack Harless
Team Captain











This week, Team Parkinson’s has 16 members.  We looked at research that explored the role of intense exercise on people with Parkinson’s.  The preliminary results are exciting.  After eight weeks of hour-long sessions of riding recumbent bikes, most of the patients in Dr. Alberts’s study showed significant lessening of tremors and better body control, improvements that lingered for up to four weeks after they stopped riding.
