PROS	CONS
✔ Clear videos with generic but clear advice on how to improve some aspects of gait impairment, some functional transfers and a few range of movement exercises for Parkinson’s. ✔ There is also a lengthy document outlining some options and advice for cardio vascular exercise (‘conditioning’) and relaxation. ✔ Fine for some general advice and starting point for those wanting more information on how to self-manage.	✘ The name of the app is misleading. Most of the videos are not of ‘exercises’ but are short education videos that describe walking techniques. ✘ There are no dose recommendations at all. ✘ Videos are mostly of ‘strategies’ with added advice on how to manage some common problems (freezing, bed mobility, sit to stand). ✘ Advice is very generic and ‘one size fits all’ approach means likely to be relevant only a subset of people with Parkinson’s (early to mid disease stage with mild/mod gait problems). ✘ This is about as useful as a simple brochure about Parkinson’s but some of info is out of date.

Clinical review

Reviewer: Simon Keepa, Physiotherapist
Date of review: May 2025
Platform: Apple
Comments: Very basic app that is more of a library of educational videos, rather than exercises.
Some users may find this useful, but most can probably find these educational snippets with a simple internet search.
Safety concerns: Exercises should be done in a safe environment (e.g., clear of obstacles, with stable support nearby) if a user is at a higher risk of falling.
New Zealand relevance: Yes
Concerns: None.
