The advantage of using Nordic Walking in the rehabilitation of persons with PD-evidence based review
31 Mar 2025
This evidence-based review highlights the advantages of using Nordic Walking (NW) as a rehabilitative method for individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The authors emphasize that NW improves posture, balance, stride length, and coordination, while engaging large muscle groups and offering psychological benefits. The review outlines practical guidelines for implementing NW at different stages of PD, demonstrating its safety, accessibility, and neuroprotective potential. NW not only improves motor function and gait quality but also positively influences independence and quality of life in patients, making it a highly recommended form of therapy alongside pharmacological treatment.
