Plain-Language Summary
The trial aims to reduce sedentary time, fear-of-falling avoidance, loneliness, and social isolation in people with Parkinson's by getting them walking regularly in a group setting. Participants join a 6-month community walking program using Nordic walking poles, which add upper-body support to improve posture, stability, and walking efficiency while encouraging regular exercise and social connection. Enrollment is open to adults 30 to 85 with a neurologist diagnosis of Parkinson's who can walk independently with or without a cane or walker and can commit to six months, excluding people with medical conditions that limit exercise, dementia, or very poor walking ability on the Timed Up and Go test.
