Abstract

Purpose: This was a student led project, supervised by a university tutor, with the aim of evaluating service users’ opinions and experiences of a new model of physiotherapy service to people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). In the new service model all newly diagnosed patients in the early stages of the disease (Hoehn and Yahr stages 1 and 2) are screened and referred, if appropriate, to a 10 week programme of group exercises (PD Viking Group) rather than to individual treatment sessions. The group exercises are based on principles from the PD Warrior programme that originated in Australia.
