Feasibility and Impact of a Function Focused Care Intervention for Parkinson's Disease in the Community

The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility and impact of function-focused care for PD (FFC-PD) developed to optimize function and physical activity among people with PD who live in the community. Parkinson's disease (PD) results in a progressive loss of function such that family caregivers provide a large percentage of the personal care to PD patients living in the home setting. This pilot study was a single-group, 2 pretest, 3 posttest repeated-measures design to investigate the impact of the FFC-PD intervention over a 12-month period.
