Tandem cycling holds the promise of enhancing the health and overall well-being of both individuals afflicted with Parkinson’s disease and their devoted caregivers. This revelation stems from a preliminary investigation unveiled today, on February 29, 2024, and is slated for presentation at the esteemed 76th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, set to convene from April 13–18, 2024, both in Denver and virtually.
“Our study found that a unique cycling program that pairs people with Parkinson’s disease with their care partners can improve the physical, emotional and mental well-being of both cyclists to improve their quality of life. It is just as important that care partners also receive care, so that is why we included them as the cycling partner. The goal of our small study was to determine if tandem cycling was beneficial. The next step will be to confirm the results with subsequent studies that would include more participants.” Jennifer Trilk, PhD, University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Greenville
