The Effect of Dual Tasking on Physical and Cognitive Functions in Patients With Parkinson Disease

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Parkinson Disease
• Interventions: Other: Dual task; Other: Treadmill Training; Other: Standard exercise programme

• Registration Number: NCT03902990
• Lead Sponsor: Istanbul University

Brief Summary

The ability of performing multi-tasking procedures is impaired in patients with Parkinson's disease. In this study, our goal was to detect the effects of dual-task training with treadmill training on walking and balance and to compare its effects on quality of life, cognitive functions and risk of fall, to treadmill training alone.
