About this trial

The aim of this study is to examine the benefits that individuals with Parkinson's disease will gain from the rehabilitation program by enabling them to manage their exercise times independently using telerehabilitation method.

The main research questions examined in this study are as follows:

* Are the improvements in quality of life, walking speed and changes in functionality parameters achieved by individuals with Parkinson's disease through managing their own exercise plans as effective as those achieved through a supervised exercise programme? * Is it effective for Parkinson's patients to manage their own exercise plans in improving their adherence to exercise?
