- Abstract
The purpose of this program was to increase fine motor coordination (FMC) and grip strength to improve the performance of activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) of individuals with Parkinson’s disease at Rock Steady Boxing (RSB). A ten-week FMC and grip strength program was implemented to target reported challenges while incorporating competition. The Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) was completed by boxers to identify focus areas of stations and to compare the perceived ability to perform ADLs and IADLs pre- and post-implementation. There was no statistically significant difference in the nine-hole peg test (L p=0.85; R p=0.72), grip strength (L p=0.36; R p=0.14), or PDQ-39 (p=0.23) post-implementation due to a small number of participants. Boxers that participated weekly benefited from a FMC and grip strength stations to increase physical and perceived ability with daily tasks.
