Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a nature-based program has positive effects on the physical and psychosocial health in a group of participants with Parkinsons disease The main questions it aims to answer are
Will the program improve
The physical outcomes such as mobility strength and balance
The psychosocial health outcomes
Participants will
Be assessed before and after the program
Participate in one session per week of the intervention
Will the program improve

Detailed Description:
The chronic and neurodegenerative disease of Parkinsons PD is often characterized by movement and balance disorders which are accompanied by an increased risk of falls Falls are one of the most common problems that can lead to subsequent injuries eg femoral head fracture and associated mortality rates Falls are frequent debilitating and have deleterious effects on self-confidence and the quality of life of individuals with PD Additionally according to Parkinson Canada a high proportion of individuals living with this disease suffer from depression andor anxiety Therefore it is essential to implement intervention programs aimed at improving the physical and functional capacity as well as the well-being of this population to prevent falls and promote sustainable health
In recent years an increasing number of studies have demonstrated the benefits of contact with nature on the physical and mental health of individuals Specific and positive effects on psychological symptoms eg depression as well as cognition memory in adults have also been shown according to this recent evidence This stimulates our research team to test the effects of a physical intervention in nature on the physical and mental health of individuals suffering from PD One of the perspectives of this new intervention in nature is also to evaluate its impact on fall risks in this population The ultimate goal of this project is to contribute to the sustainable health of the population
The overall objective of this project based on a pilot study is to assess the effects of an 8-week nature-based intervention program on the physical and mental health of individuals with PD Various physical measures mobility strength and balance and mental measures level of depression stress will be studied in this project to better understand the effects of this type of intervention
