Brief Summary

Recently, Mark Morris Dance Group, and created Moving Through Glass (MTG), a project that was funded by Google, as a portable, round-the-clock extension of the internationally acclaimed Dance for Parkinson's Disease (PD)®. When a user activates Glass, participants can choose from a variety of different exercises, like "warm me up" or "balance me." Once selected, they see the founder instructors of the Dance for PD® projected in front of them. As a single site research study at Syracuse University, researchers are conducting the pilot phase of the research project. The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of MTG on quality of life and motor functions (i.e. balance, gait, fall efficacy). Participation in the study required three visits to Women's Building in a period of four weeks and about 1-3 hours of the participant's time at each visit. During the first visit, 1 participants reviewed the consent form, completed Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and if qualified participated in a face-to-face interview. Participants were given survey package to fill out at home and were given a week to complete all the paperwork. On the second visit, they returned the completed survey package, were given physical assessments and were taught how to use Google Glass. The participants left with Google Glass, log sheet, and survey package. After 3 weeks, participants came to Women's Building for the last visit and the physical assessments were repeated, followed by an exit interview.
