Difficulty performing more than one task at a time is a common and disabling problem experienced by people with Parkinson's Disease (PD), a progressive neurological condition that affects the ability of people to perform well-learned movements like walking with normal speed and size.

Teaching people with PD how to dual task will enhance their everyday activities and has potential to reduce falls incidence.
