New Research Shows Improvements in PT/OT Outcomes with PWR!Moves Methodology in Group Rehab Sessions

Our Dr. Becky Farley helped co-author two new studies showing patient PT/OT improvements with the application of PD-specific functional training in small group rehab sessions. This pilot research presented at WPC2023 showed that implementation of the PWR!Moves methodology in small group rehab sessions with additional focus on occupation-based tasks, fine motor coordination, cognition, and social engagement improved PT/OT outcomes. While we know PD-specific training in 1:1 rehab has been shown to be beneficial, this is one of the first studies to show that group settings can also be beneficial and help to meet growing demands for neurologic intervention to address PD.
