Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that tends to affect the older adult population. The disease slowly takes away motor functioning and has negative repercussions on the individuals mental health. My research explores the interventions that physical exercise can have on non- motor and motor functions instead of using the medications that are prescribed for PD. The use of medications that are provided with long term use can be detrimental to motor function. The goal of this research is to help maintain health related quality of life and independence for those with PD.
