Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Time up and go test
Time Frame: 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.)
Berg Balance Scale
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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.
Secondary Outcomes
- The 8-item version of the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8)(8th week)
- The Five Times Sit to Stand Test(baseline)
- Beck Depression Inventory(8th week)
