Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a non-contact Rock Steady Boxing class delivered to participants with Parkinson's Disease via an in-person community-based program. The study will also assess the overall feasibility of integrating an in-person community program within a neuromuscular course in a Doctor of Physical Therapy program. Specific Aim: To examine the effects of an in-person community-based Rock Steady Boxing class on the functional mobility, functional endurance, cardiovascular capacity, visual-motor reaction times, quality of life, mood/affect and overall physical activity completion and fear of falling on individuals with Parkinson's Disease.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (13)
Changes over time in Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) from baseline to one year
The ABC is a self-report measure of balance confidence in performing various activities without losing balance or experiencing a sense of unsteadiness.
Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes in Falls Efficacy Scale - International from baseline to 1-year post
A self-administered questionnaire designed to assess fear of falling in mainly community-dwelling older population
Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes in Parkinson's Disease Fatigue Scale from baseline to 1-year post
A patient-rated scale that measures fatigue
Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes in Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire -39 from baseline to 1-year post
A 39-item self-report questionnaire, which assesses Parkinson's disease-specific health related quality over the last month.
Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes in Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) from baseline to 1-year post
The PASE measures the level of self-reported physical activity in individuals aged 65 years old or older and is comprised of items regarding occupational, household, and leisure activity during the previous 7-day period.
Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes in Berg Balance Test from baseline to 1-year post
The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is used to objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks.
Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes in 10-Meter Walk Test from baseline to 1-year post
The 10 Meter Walk Test is a performance measure used to assess walking speed in meters per second over a short distance.
Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes in 6-Minute Walk Test from baseline to 1-year post
The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance.
Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes in Time Up and Go (TUG) from baseline to 1-year post
Measure of function with correlates to balance and fall risk
Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes in Self-Efficacy for Exercise from baseline to 1-year post
Self report measure of exercise self-efficacy
Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes in Anticipatory & Compensatory Postural Assessment form baseline to 1-year post

Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes in Rock Steady Boxing Questionnaire from 3-month post to 1-year post intervention
Self assessment of mobility and quality of life
3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
Changes Physical Activity Intensity Monitoring from baseline to 1-year post intervention
Heart rate monitoring during exercise
Baseline, 3 months, 6-months and 1-year post intervention
