Engage-PD: a Physical Activity Coaching Program Via Telehealth for People With Parkinson's Disease. A Single-cohort Study in Spain. (EngagePD-BCN)

Engage-PD is a single cohort evaluation of implementation of a telehealth-delivered physical activity coaching program for people with early-mid stage Parkinson's disease in Spanish population. The program utilizes a physiotherapist to provide one-on-one coaching for individuals with early-mid stage Parkinson's disease to provide individualized structured support to facilitate and optimize exercise uptake as part of an effective self-management program. BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition for which there is currently no cure. Physical activity and exercise have demonstrated benefits for motor and non-motor symptoms, functional performance, and brain structure and function. Exercise, particularly at higher intensities, may also provide neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects and may be especially important during the early stages of the disease.
