“…As the disease progresses, postural instability and mobility difficulties can have a compromising effect on physical functioning [2,3], quality of life [4,5], and social engagement [6]. Physical activity is advocated in the management of PD [7] but it is estimated more than 50% do not meet the recommended activity levels [8] of 30 min per day [9].…”

Objective: To investigate if community-based Irish set dancing is feasible in Irish adults with Parkinson's disease. Methods:Over an eight week period, ten participants attended one set dancing class per week and completed a home programme in parallel. Feasibility was assessed by monitoring adverse effects, participants' verbal feedback, compliance rates and feedback from an exit questionnaire. Participants were assessed using the Berg balance scale, 6-min walk test, UPDRS-3 and PDQ-39, before and after the intervention. Results:No adverse effects were detected. Attendance at classes was 86%. Compliance with the home programme was 67%. Findings from the exit questionnaire showed participants enjoyed participating and reported improvements in aspects of health including balance.Quality of life improved with the dance programme and there was a trend toward improvement on the UPDRS-3. Conclusion:These findings suggest community-based Irish set dancing is a feasible form of exercise that can positively influence quality of life.

Current medical management is only partially effective in controlling the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. As part of comprehensive multidisciplinary care, physical therapy and occupational therapy aim to support people with Parkinson's disease in dealing with the consequences of their disease in daily activities. In this narrative review, we address the limitations that people with Parkinson's disease may encounter despite optimal medical management, and we clarify both the unique and shared approaches that physical therapists and occupational therapists can apply in treating these limitations.

“…Having the aim to assess the impact of the disease on the everyday life of patients to the fullest extent, their interviewing included the use of the tests "Functional Limitation Profile" and "Sickness Impact Profile-68" [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . While carrying out "Functional Limitation Profile" test, the change of patient's behavior in cases of Parkinson's disease was assessed in 12 categories of life activity: "walk", "body care and motion", "movement", "household activity", "leisure and entertainment", "social interaction", "emotions", "clarity of mind", "sleep and rest", "food", "communication", "work".…”
