[Purpose] We simultaneously treated several outpatients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) with individualized physical therapy, integrating group activities, and examined the outcomes of this program. [Participants and Methods] During the program, we held a 60-minute therapy session, including group activities, for 26 PD patients once a week for 12 weeks, and examined changes in their motor functions and QOL after the program. We also investigated their status of developing exercise habits after it. [Results] Marked improvements were observed in the number of steps need to walk 10 m, Six-minute walk distance (6MWD), and 2 subscales of the PDQ-39. Exercise habits were maintained at the time of a 6-month follow-up. [Conclusion] The physical therapy program, integrating group activities, may contribute to improvements in PD patients’ physical functions and QOL, in addition to helping them develop exercise habits.
