简要总结
The aim of this study is to examine the level of clinical change in gross manual skills of Parkinson's patients who receive conventional physiotherapy. For this purpose, the Box-Block Test will be used, and the amount of change that must occur in the patient's hand functions will be determined for the test to be considered clinically meaningful.
Patients will continue their routine physical therapy sessions and the researchers will not interfere with this program. The treatment program will be created by the clinical specialist physician and physiotherapist.
Upper extremity rehabilitation programs for Parkinson's patients generally consist of methods such as stretching, strengthening, reaching, coordination and recreational activities. Patients will receive physiotherapy for 30 sessions.

结局指标
主要结局
Global Rating of Patient-Perceived Changes (GRP-PC)
时间窗: 6 weeks (5 session days for 6 weeks)
GRP-PC will used to assess patient-perceived hand dexterity changes after the routine intervention. The patient will first asked, "Has your hand dexterity changed compared to when you did not receive interventions?". If the answer is no, the person will given a score of 0 (i.e. no change). In the case of positive response, the patient will asked, "How much better or worse is your hand dexterity" and the patient response will scored on the following 14-point Likert scale: +7 (very much better), +6 (much better), +5 (better), +4 (relatively better), +3 (somewhat better), +2 (a little better), +1 (very little better), -1 (very little worse), -2 (a little worse), -3 (somewhat worse), -4 (relatively worse), -5 (worse), -6 (much worse), and -7 (very much worse). This form will only be used to classify patients' satisfaction with treatment at the end of the study.
Box and Block Test
时间窗: 6 weeks (5 session days for 6 weeks)
This test assesses gross manual dexterity. The number of wooden blocks moved during 60 seconds gives the total score. A high score indicates good dexterity.
