I'd be happy to talk about the positive effects of exercise for persons with PD. I am doing my Ph.D. in this area...am about to start collecting data for my study. I am looking at the effect of strength and balance training on balance and strength and activities of daily living in stage II and III PD's. I have been on TV 3X, and in the Newspaper 2X and am applying for a dissertation fellowship for my work. I would be happy to talk to anyone interested in the effect of exercise on balance. PD has been called the "falling sickness", and falls make up 6-10 billion $ of health care per year for healthy and persons with PD. Prevention seems to be the key. If interested please call [log in to unmask] or on the Parkinsn list. --
