Non-motor and motor signs and symptoms typically observed in people with PD, such as tremor, rigidity, postural instability, bradykinesia, and freezing are particularly disabling and have been associated with falls, fractures, hospitalizations, and a worse quality of life. Baduanjin Qigong (BDJ) programs have been proven potentially effective in improving physical outcomes and reducing the incidence of falls in PD. The aim of this case report, proof-of-concept, study was to explore the adherence, feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of a BDJ program offered via telerehabilitation in people with PD living in the community. Two participants performed semi-supervised exercise sessions at home, twice a week (over eight weeks) using the TeraPlus platform. Adherence, adverse events, and feasibility (technical implementability), acceptability (patient satisfaction), patient-reported, self-reported, and performance outcomes were measured. Results were based on single-subject descriptive data, minimal detectable change, and anchor-based minimally important difference. Our findings suggest that the intervention seems feasible with no major technical issues or adverse events, and high adherence; acceptable (patient satisfaction); and potentially effective to improve markers of walking performance (gait speed, balance), and quality of life (activities of daily living, mobility).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18136990","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,30]],"date-time":"2021-06-30T02:16:34Z","timestamp":1625019394000},"page":"6990","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Baduanjin Qigong Intervention by Telerehabilitation (TeleParkinson): A Proof-of-Concept Study in Parkinson\u2019s Disease"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0870-4278","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Livia P.","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke and Research Centre on Aging, Sherbrooke, QC J1H 5N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"D\u00e9cary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke and Research Centre on Aging, Sherbrooke, QC J1H 5N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabelle","family":"Beaulieu-Boire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre Int\u00e9gr\u00e9 Universitaire en Sant\u00e9 et Services Sociaux de l\u2019Estrie-Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke (CIUSSS-de-l\u2019Estrie-CHUS), Sherbrooke, QC J1J 3H5, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosalie","family":"Dostie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke and Research Centre on Aging, Sherbrooke, QC J1H 5N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabelle","family":"Lalonde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke and Research Centre on Aging, Sherbrooke, QC J1H 5N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00c9milie","family":"Texier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke and Research Centre on Aging, Sherbrooke, QC J1H 5N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurence","family":"Laprise","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke and Research Centre on Aging, Sherbrooke, QC J1H 5N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Pepin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke and Research Centre on Aging, Sherbrooke, QC J1H 5N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M\u00e9lodie","family":"Gilbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke and Research Centre on Aging, Sherbrooke, QC J1H 5N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H\u00e9l\u00e8ne","family":"Corriveau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke and Research Centre on Aging, Sherbrooke, QC J1H 5N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7561-1170","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michel","family":"Tousignant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke and Research Centre on Aging, Sherbrooke, QC J1H 5N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"504","article-title":"Parkinson\u2019s disease and its management part 1: Disease entity, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and diagnosis","volume":"40","author":"DeMaagd","year":"2015","journal-title":"Pharm.
