Balance Training in Parkinson Patients
Abstract
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a disorder marked by degenerative changes in the neurological system that impair the brain’s basal ganglia's ability to function normally. By precisely comparing the fall risk between two groups—one doing workouts at home and the other under professional supervision—this study seeks to fill the information gap regarding the effects of PT-based intervention in improving balance and reducing the risk of falls among PD patients.
Methods: Data was gathered from n=24 patients that were undergoing Physical therapy either at supervised clinical setup or getting supervised home based session (domiciliary Physical Therapy services).
Results: The values of TUG test for patients in clinical based group revealed that sum of square (SS)=45.08, df=3, F=3.57, Fcrit= 2.81, p=0.02. Similarly for patients in home based therapy session group the values were SS=10.39,df=3, F=0.606, F-Crit=2.81, p=0.61.
Conclusion: In conclusion the outcomes of this study highlight the considerable benefit of home-based and clinical-based training treatments on people with PD, as measured by the TUG and BBS measures.
