Merging Yoga and Occupational Therapy for Parkinson Disease: Phase 2

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Parkinson Disease

• Registration Number: NCT03578653
• Lead Sponsor: Colorado State University

Brief Summary

The full program is focused on identifying and reducing risk factors surrounding falls. Based on previous research, we believe that occupational therapy group classes and adaptive yoga are an ideal pairing to reduce fall risk. The occupational therapy sessions will consist of lecture, group discussion, and activities designed to target biological, behavioral, environmental, and socioeconomic factors that contribute to fall risk specifically for people with Parkinson's disease.
