Spin for the Brain: Sport, Science, Well-being.
A science‑based approach using table tennis to enhance motor skills, cognitive function, balance, attention, motivation, and social connectedness in people with Parkinson’s disease. Grounded in the BrainSpin project, this method integrates open‑skill movement, visuomotor coordination, executive function engagement, and social interaction, supporting neuroplasticity and improving quality of life.
