Exophthalmos is a condition associated with Graves disease, caused by hyperthyroidism. Treatment for this condition may stabilize the symptoms but does not reverse them. Hashimoto thyroiditis is condition of hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism. Women with this condition may have problems with fertility.

Answer: A, C, D, E

Research studies have shown improvements on the 6-minute walk test of individuals with PD after participation in low-intensity and high-intensity treadmill training, strength training, and range of motion. Use of shoes with non-slip soles is advised.
