ANNG MOVEMENT TASK FORCE MEETING
Date: Friday 1 April
Time: 4:30 PM Eastern Time
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRS
We have an exciting project coming up in 2021 and we are asking for volunteers from our team.
Some of you might know that ANNG is planning on hosting some webinars after the 2021 Annual ACRM meeting. The topic of the first webinar will be Dance for patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) with a focus on improvement of quality of life. This is related to the recent social media post about programs offered by Take Root dance company for patients with PD.
In preparation for the webinar, we plan to do a mini-review of research studies to gather evidence-based science on dance and PD, for which we need a group of volunteers. If any of you are interested, please write to the co-chairs of the movement task force, Abigail Spaulding or Jaswandi Pitale.
Sincerely,
Jaswandi Pitale, PhD
Co-Chair ANNG Movement Task Force
