Mo’s Poster

In April 2012, Mo Morgan and Beata Michalska conducted a research project, which formed part of Beata’s Masters in Neuro-Psychology at the University of Edinburgh (supervised by Dr. Sharon Abrahams). The project involved participants from the East Lothian Support Group and investigated whether or not weekly participation in a dance class could improve cognitive functioning in people with Parkinson’s. The classes followed the Dance for Parkinson’s® format over a period of 10 weeks. Although the group was small, the outcome was positive and sufficient to justify presenting the results in poster format at the 2013 International Congress on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease in Florence in March. The poster was also accepted for presentation at WPC Montreal and Mo monitored response and interest in the results while at the congress.
