Interesting, Thank you. Anything that promotes neuroplasticity would be highly beneficial for PD including Table Tennis 🏓 .

I don't know whether playing table tennis helps PwP (I suspect that it does), but 15 years past diagnosis, this is one of the skills which for me have been well preserved. This is in contrast to getting up from a supine position on the ground to a standing position, which takes several times longer than it used to take me before PD.

Not what you're looking for?
