Summary
This study tests a special exercise program called TURN-IT for people with Parkinson's disease who have fallen in the past year. The program focuses on improving turning ability through targeted exercises. 55 participants will either do the program or continue usual care, and researchers will measure changes in turning quality and fear of falling.

TURN-IT exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple exercise program to help people with Parkinson's turn more easily and fall less.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 55 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires supervised sessions, which may be hard to maintain long-term.
