Biography

Data from Dr. Alberts’ and Dr. Rosenfeldt's most recent study indicates that cycling may be an ideal mode of exercise for people with Parkinson’s because regardless of disease severity, individuals can achieve and maintain a moderate to high intensity of exercise. Additionally, the study’s compliance data highlights several important points, including that people with Parkinson’s regularly attend community-based cycling classes without external encouragement, and they can achieve and maintain moderate levels of exercise intensity without direct oversight. His research focuses on the central nervous system and upper extremity motor performance in PD patients, and the effect of behavioral and surgical interventions.
