Summary

The goals of this clinical trial are to 1) learn how two different rehabilitation interventions for PD can reduce Freezing of Gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease, as assessed by patients, clinicians, and wearable sensors, and 2) to explore whether two different rehabilitation intervention can reduce FOG and improve daily life mobility in people with FOG sufficiently to justify a clinical trial.

Participants will:

* Be randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups (turning-focused agility exercise or strength-based exercise)
* Have one-on-one training sessions three times per week for 6 weeks
* Perform in-lab assessments before beginning and after completing the study intervention
* Use wearable mobility sensors during daily life to measure their walking and balance

Conditions
