Interventions

Patients will be assigned to one of two balance training groups and will convene in groups (~6 patients per session) during twice-weekly training sessions of one hour, for six weeks. Two types of ba

Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patient is diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, stages II-III on the Hoehn and Yahr scale, and able to participate in all forms of therapy. 2. Patient*s medication is stable and remains unchanged during the study period. 3. Sufficient cognitive function (Mini Mental State Examination > 24)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Presence of (other) neurological, orthopedic, or cardiopulmonary problems that can impair participation. 2. Any conditions that render the patient unable to understand or adhere to the protocol such as cognitive, visual, and/or language problems.
