Description

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the leading neurodegenerative disorders that results in a decline in motor function and non-motor function in diagnosed individuals. As there is an increasing incidence of PD, there is a demand for the development of novel therapies and exercise programs for prevention, treatment, and slowed progression of the disease. While previous studies demonstrate the positive impacts of music on exercise programs, music’s effect on individuals with PD in a virtual setting has not been examined.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the difference in efforts among individuals with PD after completion of a virtual wellness group incorporating LSVT BIG exercises with and without the use of music.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on two individuals who participated in two 5-week treatment intervals.

Results: Our results did not reveal a significant difference in reported effort during participation in the virtual wellness group with music as compared to participation without music.

Discussion: Although our results were inconclusive, others have found that music reduces the amount of perceived effort in athletes. Additionally, there are studies supporting the use of an individual’s preferred music to increase motivation.
