Official study title

Effects of 10-week exercise therapy in transverse plane at home on postural stability and initiation of gait in patients with Parkinson’s disease: a clinical trial

Short title used by the registry

Effects of rotational exercises on the stability of patients with Parkinson’s disease

Original description

Intervention: Intervention 1: Intervention group: Horizontal plane exercise with common exercises.5 exercises that include body rotation exercises are added to the usual exercises. Each movement is performed at the beginning of the training sessions in two sets of ten. Between each set, the patient rests for 1 minute and once every two weeks, according to the physiotherapist, the number of exercises is increased by 20%. Exercises are done for 10 weeks and 3 days every week. Intervention 2: Control group: Common exercise therapy. Each movement is performed at the beginning of the training sessions in two sets of ten. Between each set, the patient rests for 1 minute and once every two weeks, according to the physiotherapist, the number of exercises is increased by 20%. Exercises are done for 10 weeks and 3 days every week. Primary outcome: Linear and nonlinear metrics of stability based on the excursion of the center of foot pressure (CoP). Timepoint: Before the intervention and immediately after the intervention(10 weeks after start). Method of measurement: Force Plate system.;Parkinson's disease quality of life questionnaire PDQ39. Timepoint: Before the intervention and immediately after the intervention(10 weeks after start). Method of measurement: questionnaire score using 5-point Likert scale.

Conditions reported: Parkinson Disease. Parkinson's disease
