Rehabilitation and Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Early after the turn of the century, much excitement was generated by the reports of Tillerson et al. [1, 2] that exercise appeared to protect against neuronal degeneration in rodent models of toxin-induced parkinsonism. Such findings, coupled with epidemiologic suggestions that persons with a history of moderate to vigorous exercise may have a ...
