High-Cadence Cycling Promotes Sustained Improvement in Bradykinesia, Rigidity, and Mobility in Individuals with Mild-Moderate Parkinson’s Disease

Figure 2

(a) UPDRS Motor III scores of high-cadence cycling and control groups from baseline testing (pre) to 48 hours after the last cycling session (post). The high-cadence cycling group showed a sustained and significant improvement in their UPDRS score from pretesting to posttesting. (b) Kinesia score for hand movement amplitude, rapid alternating movement speed, and gait showed significant improvements after high-cadence dynamic cycling. (c) Timed Up and Go (TUG) scores of high-cadence cycling and control groups from baseline testing (pre) to 48 hours after the last cycling session (post). compared to prescores.
