Tandem Cycling: A Promising Therapy for Parkinson's Disease
A study from the University of South Carolina suggests that tandem cycling may improve the health and well-being of people with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers. Participants in a tandem cycling program showed improved overall function, mobility, walking speed, and decreased disease progression. Caregivers also experienced improved resilience and decreased depression. The study highlights the potential benefits of exercise therapy for both patients and their caregivers, offering new avenues for improving quality of life for those affected by Parkinson's disease.
