Vivien Poon, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 10 years ago, demonstrates one of the mobility tests conducted in the research study. Participants underwent a six-minute walking test using an Ambulosono wearable sensor system (seen on Vivien's right leg). The demonstration occurred at the Clinical and Translational Exercise Physiology Laboratory, which investigates the role of exercise in the prevention and management of chronic diseases, including neurodegeneration conditions related to aging such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer disease.
