Community Walking Program for Parkinson's Disease
This study, called the "10,000 Step Club," is a 6-month community walking program for people with Parkinson's disease in Las Vegas. You would join a group that meets weekly in local parks and uses Nordic walking poles to help with stability and movement. The goal is to see if this program can help you increase your daily steps, reduce your fear of falling, and lessen feelings of social isolation. To join, you need to be between 30 and 85 years old, have a Parkinson's diagnosis from a neurologist, and be able to walk independently. You cannot have health issues that limit exercise or have dementia. The study aims to enroll 60 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
