The effect of rehabilitation robots for patients with Parkinson's disease.

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Parkinson's Disease; D010300

• Registration Number: JPRN-jRCTs052180158
• Lead Sponsor: Domen Kazuhisa

Brief Summary

Both groups showed improvement in BESTest; the BEAR group showed improvement at FU4W, and analysis of the BESTest sub-items revealed that improvement in reactive postural control was related to the BESTest total score, suggesting that postural adjustment ability was improved by postural reflexes and feedback from the system senses in BEAR group. In the PT group, there was an improvement in the BESTest total score after implementation, indicating that muscle strength and posture were involved.
