Journal ArticleDOI
A two-year randomized controlled trial of progressive resistance exercise for Parkinson's disease.
Daniel M. Corcos,Julie A. Robichaud,Fabian J. David,Sue Leurgans,David E. Vaillancourt,Cynthia Poon,Miriam R. Rafferty,Wendy M. Kohrt,Cynthia L. Comella +8 more
TL;DR: PRE demonstrated a statistically and clinically significant reduction in UPDRS‐III scores compared with mFC and is recommended as a useful adjunct therapy to improve Parkinsonian motor signs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Implementation Research Logic Model: a method for planning, executing, reporting, and synthesizing implementation projects.
TL;DR: The Implementation Research Logic Model (IRLM) is a semi-structured, principle-guided tool designed to improve the specification, rigor, reproducibility, and testable causal pathways involved in implementation research projects.

Journal ArticleDOI
Regular Exercise, Quality of Life, and Mobility in Parkinson’s Disease: A Longitudinal Analysis of National Parkinson Foundation Quality Improvement Initiative Data
Miriam R. Rafferty,Peter Schmidt,Sheng Luo,Kan Li,Connie Marras,Thomas L. Davis,Mark Guttman,Fernando Cubillos,Tanya Simuni +8 more
TL;DR: Consistently exercising and starting regular exercise after baseline were associated with small but significant positive effects on HRQL and mobility changes over two years, which supports improving encouragement and facilitation of exercise in advanced PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Janey Prodoehl,Miriam R. Rafferty,Fabian J. David,Cynthia Poon,David E. Vaillancourt,Cynthia L. Comella,Sue Leurgans,Wendy M. Kohrt,Daniel M. Corcos,Julie A. Robichaud +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of long-term progressive resistance exercise (PRE) and mFC on physical function outcome measures in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) were examined.
