APDA Iowa Parkinson's Conference held on June 17, 2022
Research at ISU; Stronger than Ever
Elizabeth Stegemoller, PhD. Iowa State University College of Human Sciences

Parkinson’s disease affects an area of the brain that controls movement. While music and other forms of art are gaining recognition for their potential to improve health outcomes, it’s important to understand exactly how these therapies affect the human system. Using music therapy in research can address how people with Parkinson’s disease move, their stress level, their bonding, and social experiences, depression, and anxiety. The research results will lay the groundwork for designing treatments that have the most impact on improving the overall health of people with Parkinson’s disease. Join this session to understand how Dr. Stegemoller’s research project will get science closer to understanding why music is a powerful tool for health and healing.
