Aim: The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of a community-based exercise program for adults with Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients & methods: This one-group pretest and post-test design involved 22 participants with PD who participated in two to three exercise sessions per week for 8 weeks. Outcomes assessed for statistical significance included balance, mobility, cognition, activities of daily living, sleep and quality of life. Results: Although exercise is positively correlated with improvements in function, this short-duration study did not demonstrate this. Qualitative themes revealed an increase in self-perceived socialization, coordination and motivation to continue exercise. Conclusion: This community-based exercise study showed improvements in socialization, self-reported coordination and motivation to exercise. Further research is needed to assess community exercise interventions for PD.
