Ryan's District Boards

By Kathryn Doyle NEW YORK (Reuters Health) â€" Going for regular brisk walks may improve symptoms among people with Parkinson’s disease and boost their quality of life, according to a preliminary study. “Exercise is medicine for Parkinson’s,” Jay Alberts, from the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute in Ohio, told Reuters Health. He studies motor function in Parkinson’s disease but wasn’t involved in the new research. The study included 60 people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease who could walk independently without a cane or walker and had no other serious medical problems.
