Maintaining “motor reserve” through physical activity and medication to mitigate motor decline in Parkinson’s disease

Key Points

• Motor decline can be mitigated through sustained physical activity and medication, preserving motor reserve.
• Patients engaging in regular exercise showed improved motor function and less decline over time.
• Assessment of motor reserve highlights the importance of these interventions in managing Parkinson's disease.
• May enable better management of Parkinson’s symptoms, but further research is needed for broader applications.
