Four-Square Step indicates improvement from baseline, PDQ-9 Mobility indicates meeting MDC required improvement in performance from baseline.
These participants had such low scores that improvement at a level of MDC was not possible.
These participants did not believe that exercise could help alleviate symptoms of PD.
