- Conditions
- Parkinson Disease
- Interventions
- Other: The conventional balance exercise programOther: Biodex balance system
- Registration Number
- NCT06272838
- Lead Sponsor
- Kirsehir Ahi Evran Universitesi
- Brief Summary
Conventional balance exercises are an effective rehabilitation method applied in routine rehabilitation programs for Parkinson's patients. With technological developments, balance exercises
- Detailed Description
This study was planned based on the hypothesis that exercises based on visual feedback applied to patients through games will increase patient compliance and improve balance better than conventional exercise.Previous studies have shown that the Biodex balance device has positive contributions to balance in neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation applications.

Group Intervention Description Control Group The conventional balance exercise program The conventional balance exercise program will be applied by a physiotherapist for 4 weeks, 5 days a week, in a total of 20 sessions. Experimental Group Biodex balance system In addition to conventional balance exercises, the exercise program, which includes games to improve balance, performed with the help of a Biodex balance device, will be given in a total of 20 sessions, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks..

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Berg Balance Scale 8 th week Berg Balance Scale was developed to measure balance performance and is used to evaluate postural control and predict fall risk. Higher scores indicate better balance
Biodex dynamic balance score 8th week The balance assessment of the participants will be made with the Biodex Balance Systems device. During the measurement, patients will try to stay balanced on the device whose platform stability is adjusted.
The fall efficacy scale 8th week The fall efficacy scale consists of 10 questions rated on a 10-point Likert scale. Getting more than 70 points from the scale indicates fear of falling.
Time up and go test 8th week Time up and go testing will be performed to determine fall risk and measure balance, sit-to-stand and walking progress. Minimal detectable change in Parkinson's patients. It is 3.5 seconds. (10.2522/ptj.20090126.)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The 8-item version of the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8) 8th week The 8-item version of the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8)is a shortened version of the 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). It is a patient-reported outcome measure used to measure people's quality of life. It consists of 8 questions, each question is scored between 0-4. Higher scores indicate worse quality of life.
The Five Times Sit to Stand Test baseline The Five Times Sit to Stand Test measures one aspect of transfer skill. The test provides a method to quantify functional lower extremity strength and/or identify movement strategies a patient uses to complete transitional movements. The patient is asked to stand up quickly and sit down 5 times and the time is recorded.
Beck Depression Inventory 8th week Beck depression inventory can be self-scored. It consists of 21 questions. Higher scores indicate increased depression.
