Summary

This study tested whether adding arm and hand exercises to leg exercises during high-intensity circuit training helps people with Parkinson's disease more than leg exercises alone. Sixty-four participants completed 8 exercise classes. Researchers measured reaction time, balance, walking speed, endurance, and quality of life. The goal was to see if upper body training provides extra benefits for daily function.
