A Systematic Review Exploring If Rhythmic Exercise Improves Mobility in Adults with Parkinson’s Disease

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participant will be able to understand the role of rhythmic exercise in Parkinson’s rehabilitation – Attendees will be able to describe how rhythmic exercise interventions, such as dance and adapted tango, impact motor symptom severity, gait, balance, and functional mobility in adults with Parkinson’s disease.
• Upon completion, participant will be able to evaluate evidence from systematic review methods – Attendees will be able to identify the methodological approaches used in this review, including study selection, bias assessment, and mobility-related outcome measures.
• Upon completion, participant will be able to apply findings to occupational therapy practice – Attendees will be able to discuss how rhythmic exercise programs can be integrated as feasible, safe, and sustainable interventions to enhance quality of life for individuals with Parkinson’s disease.
