Plain-Language Summary
The goal is to help people with Parkinson's increase and maintain safe, regular physical activity to improve mobility, balance, mood, and overall quality of life. Over eight weeks participants use Engage-Qatar PD, a personalized remote self-management program with one face-to-face coaching session and seven online sessions that teach goal setting, tailored exercise plans, activity tracking, strategies to overcome barriers, and safety advice, with coaches adapting plans to symptoms and medication schedules; it is a non-drug approach meant to complement existing treatments. The study is looking for adults 18 and older with a neurologist-confirmed Parkinson's who can walk indoors and outdoors without hands-on assistance, can follow study commands, and who pass the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire or have medical clearance, while excluding those with other neurological conditions, musculoskeletal injuries that prevent exercise, or acute illness.
