Study Details

Brief summary:

The investigators have developed a three-part allied health care intervention to be delivered via telehealth. These interventions are usually provided face-to-face. Telehealth access to healthcare is needed for people with Parkinson's disease living in rural locations, where providers are sparse and long travel times are often not feasible because of weather conditions, as well as the hallmark symptom of Parkinson's disease, movement disorders
