For people living with Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD), however, travel can pose unique health and logistical challenges. Despite the increasing emphasis on health-related quality of life in PD management, little is known about the travel needs of people living with PD. This study explored the travel experiences, needs, attitudes and practices of people living with PD, with the aim of informing future research, practice and guidance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A qualitative study using the focus group methodology was conducted with 20 participants: 10 people living with PD and 10 carers.

This study highlights the complexity of these travel-related health needs and the need for a multidisciplinary and personalized approach.
