Measure
Traditional Multi-Modal Training
A physical therapist will provide 1:1 multi-modal training. Multi-modal training is the simultaneous performance of a motor and a cognitive task (i.e. marching while answering math questions) Traditional Multi-Modal Training: Training administered via a 1:1 physical therapy session
Augmented Reality Multi-Modal Training
Multi-modal training will be administered via the Microsoft HoloLens 2 augmented reality head set. Augmented reality allows user to see the real world, and inserts holograms into the environment. For example, the user could see boxes on the ground that they need to step around when walking. The boxes are not real, but rather a hologram that only the user can see. The augmented reality device will instruct the participant on the motor and cognitive task that should be performed simultaneously in a similar manner to the physical therapist in the traditional multi-modal training group. The intervention will be overseen by a physical therapist. Augmented Reality Multi-Modal Training: Training administered via an augmented reality headset.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline assessment to the end of the 8-week training session

Global score of motor function in Parkinson's disease using the Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale subscale III (MDS-UPDRS III). Eighteen items scored on a 0-4 scale resulting in a score ranging from 0-72. A higher score (larger number) indicates more motor symptoms.
