A few years ago Nan did a post (post #184 on 12-10-2012) to inform everyone that: "A group of Dr. Alberts' staff gave a poster recently covering results of a cycling trial that included 26 patients." Nan's post includes a link (now broken) to the corresponding press release on the RSNA website, titled "Exercise Rate Related to Improvements in Parkinson's Disease."

This post of mine is to inform everyone that the November 2012 "poster" has now evolved into a published research paper:

Shah C, Beall EB, Frankemolle AM, Penko A, Phillips MD, Lowe MJ, Alberts JL. (2016) Exercise Therapy for Parkinson's Disease: Pedaling Rate is Related to Changes in Motor Connectivity. BRAIN CONNECTIVITY, Volume 6, Number 1, 2016 DOI: 10.1089/brain.2014.0328

Here is a link to the paper's abstract:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26414696

Reading through the paper, it seems to me that the essence is still very similar to that of the poster. So if you are interested in reading the paper, but are unable to access a copy of it, I think you can still learn quite a lot from the information associated with the poster, and this is still available on the RSNA website.

To replace the broken link in Nan's post, here is a new link to the poster's press release on the RSNA website:

https://www2.rsna.org/timssnet/Media...get.cfm?id=633

The press release contains a link called "Press conference video" (just below the "Abstract:" box). The 16 minute video is essentially Chintan Shah (the lead author) talking you through a set of charts/slides describing the project.

The press release also contains a link (now broken) to the poster abstract, titled "Exercise Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease: Faster Pedaling is Related to Greater Improvement in Motor Connectivity." To replace this broken link, here is a new link to the poster abstract on the RSNA website:
