Abstract

This scholarly abstract presents the findings of a capstone project that investigated the impact of Rock Steady Boxing (RSB) on occupational participation and functional activities of daily living among individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. RSB, a nonprofit organization, employs a non-contact boxing-based curriculum to instill hope and enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by Parkinson’s disease, with a mission to empower them in their fight against the condition. The researcher observed and actively participated in RSB classes at the Parkview Huntington Family YMCA to develop an advanced skillset and comprehensive knowledge for working with this population. A needs assessment was conducted to identify the specific requirements of individuals with Parkinson’s disease, leading to the development of a tailored home program aimed at addressing these needs. The project yielded several deliverables, including a Rock Steady Boxing coach’s certification certificate, an informative handout outlining intervention strategies for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, and a needs assessment document assessing the effects of RSB on this demographic. The abstract underscores the role of occupational therapy in combating Parkinson’s disease, advocating for practitioners to promote meaningful exercise engagement for sustained involvement. Additionally, it highlights the positive influence of group exercise as a means of fostering social support and enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals with Parkinson’s disease. The abstract concludes by emphasizing the need for further research to explore the effects of Rock Steady Boxing on the functional limitations associated with Parkinson’s disease.
