This effectiveness-implementation study is a part of the larger study BETA-PD (Balance, Elderly, Training and Activity in Parkinson's Disease), which has the long-term goal to reduce the risk of falling in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) by improving balance, gait and physical activity level. The main hypothesis is that highly challenging balance training will lead to greater gait and balance ability, increased levels of physical activity and an improved health related quality of life. The main aims of the study are to evaluate the effectiveness of the HiBalance program in real-life clinical settings, while exploring facilitators and barriers for program implementation on a wider scale.
