  To aim of this study was to determine the cost-effective and clinically effective nature of an OT and PT program for adults with mild to moderate Parkinson's Disease (PD). Participants with limitations in ADLs were randomized between PT, OT and no therapy. The evaluative measures were the Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale, Parkinson Disease Questionnaire, and the EuroQol-5D. Of the 762 participants there were small differences in favor of therapy with the PD Questionaire and the EuroQuol-5D, however the median treatment time was 4 visits of 58 minutes over 8 weeks. Therefore, it is not cost effective to prescribe a low-dose therapy regime for this population. As an OT practitioner informed of studies such as these it is important to assess when it is the proper time to begin and terminate services for a patient. Does the research support your intervention or treatment and to what degree?
