In May 2010, the Davis Phinney Foundation surveyed more than 200 people with Parkinson’s on the topic of exercise. We asked a panel of Parkinson’s experts to address the most frequently asked. questions.
The Panel of Experts
- Matthew Ford, PhD, PT, MA – University of Alabama at Birmingham
- Terry Ellis, PhD, PT, NCS – Boston University
- Lee Dibble, PhD, PT, ATC – University of Utah
- Mark Hirsch, PhD – Carolinas Rehabilitation, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
