Overview
Brief Summary
Individuals with Parkinson's disease demonstrate impaired motor learning, including a slower acquisition rate and poor retention, which may result from deficits in cognitive function, especially executive function. Considering the reduced motor learning ability in this patient group, exercises should be designed with a focus on strengthening sensory inputs and basic functional training. Therefore, the investigators established this program according to previous experience published study [NCT04063605]. Therefore, the feasibility of this rehabilitation protocol, which combines motor learning and clinical pilates principles and is adapted to the needs of individuals with Parkinson's disease, will be examined.
Detailed Description
The patients with Parkinson's Disease will be randomly assigned into two groups: Motor Learning based Clinical Pilates (MLCP) Group and Conventional Physiotherapy (CP) Group. Both groups will be treated for 12 weeks. The evaluation of the patients will be done before the beginning of exercise program, midterm evaluation in the 6th week and will be repeated at the end. Also there will be followed up evaluation with the same assessments at the 3rd month. Physical function/motor function of patients will be evaluated with The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) III subscale, dynamic balance with Functional Reach Test (FRT), postural control and dynamic balance will also be evaluated with Berg Balance Scale and functional mobility by Timed Up and Go Test. Gait, balance and functional domains of the patients will be evaluated with Gait and Balance Scale (GABS), Nelson foot reaction test will be used for the reaction time.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Nelson Foot Reaction Test
Time Frame: 5 minutes
This test is measured using a ruler and this gives the simple reaction time. The participant sits against the wall with the toe at a distance of 2.5 cm and the heel at a distance of 5 cm from the wall. The test administrator holds the reaction ruler between the wall and the participant's foot and releases the ruler as soon as the participant is ready. The participant tries to hold the falling ruler by squeezing it against the wall. It will be measured 20 times. Five best and five worst values will be discarded and the average of the remaining measurement will be taken.
Gait and Balance Scale (Untimed Tasks)
Time Frame: 15 minutes
Gait and Balance Scale (GABS) consists of historical information and examination of 14 different gait and balance parameters designed to assess the severity of these functional domains. Thirty-five patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), Hoehn and Yahr stages 1 - 3, were tested. Items 1 to 17 GABS are scored on a scale of 0 to 4 (0 being normal and 4 being the worst). Items 18- 24 are scored on a scale 0 to 1 or 0 to 2 (0 being normal and 1 or 2 being abnormal).
Gait and Balance Scale (Timed Tasks - Cadence)
Time Frame: 2 minutes
Gait and Balance Scale (GABS) consists of timed tasks to assess gait speed and the 'up-and-go' test. Timed tasks provide valuable information about the gait cycle by measuring speed of walking, variation between the normal and fast gait speed, stand-walk-sit time and cadence.
Secondary Outcomes
- Functional reach test(5 minutes)
- Timed-up and Go test(5 minutes)
- Berg Balance Scale(15 minutes)
- The Unified Parkinson&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) III. Subscale(15 minutes)
