The 12-Week CardioWall Parkinson’s Study at Evergreen Commons Senior Centre has shown that regular use of the CardioWall integrated into the Parkinson’s Exercise Program can have wide ranging benefits for Parkinson’s users’ physical health and wellbeing.
The Study
This Study compared a CardioWall Group, who used the CardioWall regularly as part of their Parkinson’s Exercise Program, and a Control Group, who had limited use of the CardioWall.
The results
The impact of regular CardioWall use for users with Parkinson’s
It’s fun, it's a game, it makes exercise a little more enjoyable because they have to do some pretty hard drills that are challenging. The CardioWall is challenging, but in a fun way.

Don’t just take it from us!
The CardioWall helped my reaction time a lot, it helped with driving and also my dizziness. I really enjoyed using.
Parkinson’s Study Participant
You’re dealing with speed, and range of motion, and physical and cardio fitness, processing speeds and more, so that’s a win for me.

It's much more than just physical!
Physical
Games that challenge functional mobility
CardioWall games get players testing their balance, ability to reach, twist, and shift position, just by hitting the lightpods as quick as they can. Users challenge and push themselves further when feeling they feel they’re ‘just playing a game’.
Cognitive
Engage the brain and improve hand-eye coordination
Speed, accuracy, and spatial awareness are put the test when hitting out lightpods. Improvements can be measured and tracked by CardioWall scores.
Social
Activity that’s socially interactive and competitive
The CardioWall acts as a tool for building relationships, encouraging players to work as a team, compete against one another, and have fun. Games support staff and member communication, improve wellbeing, and offer relief from challenging exercise and rehabilitation.
