| Abstract: | Background Many patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) lead a sedentary lifestyle. Promotion of physical activities may beneficially
affect the clinical presentation of PD, and perhaps even modify the course of PD. However, because of physical and cognitive
impairments, patients with PD require specific support to increase their level of physical activity. |
