Phase N/A

This study tests the Ronnie Gardiner Method (RGM) to see if it helps with thinking skills and other aspects like speech, movement, balance, and mood in people with Parkinson's disease. RGM uses music and rhythm to make exercises fun and engaging. Participants follow symbols that tell them what movements to make, all to the beat of the music.

The study lasts 10 weeks from October to December 2026. Classes are once a week for 1.5 hours on Thursdays. There is also some homework: doing exercises at home twice a week for 15 minutes each time. Before and after the study, participants will take tests to measure changes in thinking, movement, and quality of life.

The study is open to those diagnosed with Parkinson's disease who can move safely and independently and have stable medication for at least 4 weeks. Candidates must also commit to the full program and agree to participate.

  • Study is 10 weeks long with weekly classes.
  • Participants do home exercises twice a week for 15 minutes.
  • Tests before and after to check progress.
