简要总结
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by motor and non-motor impairments that significantly affect quality of life. Falls and cognitive decline are common and debilitating complications in PD. While individual exercise programs have shown benefits, there is limited research on integrated interventions targeting multiple domains.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of a combined CoDuSe (Core, Dual-task, Sensory) and Square Stepping Exercise (SSE) program on cognition, balance, and risk of fall in patients with PD.
Methods: A true experimental, pretest-posttest design was used with 40 patients diagnosed with idiopathic PD (Hoehn and Yahr stage 2–3). Participants were randomly allocated into two groups:
- Group A (n=20): SSE only (control group)
- Group B (n=20): CoDuSe + SSE (experimental group)
Intervention was conducted over 4 weeks, 3 sessions per week. Outcome measures included Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Mini-Cog Scale, and Fall Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and t-tests.
Results: Results are to be analyzed post-intervention. It is hypothesized that the combined CoDuSe and SSE group will show statistically significant improvements in balance, cognition, and reduced fall risk compared to SSE alone.
Conclusion: This study aims to provide evidence supporting a comprehensive, dual-modality exercise intervention to improve functional outcomes in PD patients. If effective, this integrated approach could be adopted in rehabilitation protocols to reduce fall risk and enhance cognitive and motor performance in PD.
