Abstract
This paper describes a model for developing early, community-based exercise interventions for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The model being described is novel in that it advocates collaborative development of the program by multiple stakeholders (i.e., researchers, people with Parkinson's disease, caregivers, Parkinson's associations and healthcare providers), utilizing a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, and peer-to-peer training by caregivers and person's with PD. Opportunities and challenges of creating community-based exercise programs are discussed.Entities:
