Independent labs found the same change in people. 3 independent labs in 3 countries.
“At T1, both S and NS improved TUG and ASM, PhA improved only in S and handgrip strength improved only in S, with only female patients reaching significant changes.”

Multidisciplinary rehabilitation program is linked with better physical function in patients with Parkinson's disease admitted directly from home (p < 0.0001).
“Significant improvements were observed in the AM-PAC domains of Basic Mobility and Daily Activity between admission and discharge (p < 0.0001)”

Multidisciplinary rehabilitation program increases muscle mass in humans (post-COVID-19 sarcopenia in supportive housing) (6.74 to 7.56 kg/m2).
“Appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) at T1 and T4 was 6.74 and 7.56 kg/m2, respectively.”

Multidisciplinary rehabilitation program was not clearly linked with cognitive function in patients with Parkinson's disease admitted directly from home (p = 0.871).
“No significant changes were observed in the Applied Cognitive domain of the AM-PAC (p = 0.871).”

Multidisciplinary rehabilitation program is linked with better vocal functioning in patients with Parkinson's disease admitted directly from home (p = 0.028).
“Importantly, VHI scores demonstrated statistically significant improvements in vocal functioning (p = 0.028).”
