Kreischa, Germany, January 21 -- Exercising on the treadmill may improve the walking ability in people suffering from the Parkinson’s disease, according to the findings of a new German study.
The research initiated by Dr Jan Mehrholz and his colleagues from the Wissenschaftliches Institute in Kreischa, Germany suggests that working out on the treadmill could be used to improve gait hypokinesia in Parkinson’s patients.
Gait hypokinesia is a movement disorder that affects people suffering from Parkinson’s disease and results in slowing the movements.
Leader of the study, Dr Jan Mehrholz, informs, “Treadmill training appears to be a safe and effective way of improving gait in patients with Parkinson's disease.”
