Both motor and non-motor issues like apathy limit daily activities.
People with Parkinson's stay active by adapting tasks or environments, such as using mobility aids or scheduling around symptoms.
Key findings
01Motor impairments, non-motor issues like apathy, and disease duration independently predicted worse performance in daily activities.
02Participation in usual life situations was independently predicted by medication dosage, apathy, daily activity performance, and fear of falling.
03Participants maintained engagement in valued roles by modifying their behavior, the environment, or relying on social support and mobility aids.
