An interventional study of Biodex balance system and The conventional balance exercise program in Parkinson Disease, sponsored by Kirsehir Ahi Evran Universitesi. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 40 Years to 90 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-02-22.

Conventional balance exercises are an effective rehabilitation method applied in routine rehabilitation programs for Parkinson's patients. With technological developments, balance exercises
This study was planned based on the hypothesis that exercises based on visual feedback applied to patients through games will increase patient compliance and improve balance better than conventional exercise.Previous studies have shown that the Biodex balance device has positive contributions to balance in neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation applications.
4,487 studies on the registry are indexed under Parkinson Disease; 1,082 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 60 is above the median of 40 across 3,294 interventional studies indexed under Parkinson Disease.

Berg Balance Scale
Berg Balance Scale was developed to measure balance performance and is used to evaluate postural control and predict fall risk. Higher scores indicate better balance

Biodex dynamic balance score
The balance assessment of the participants will be made with the Biodex Balance Systems device. During the measurement, patients will try to stay balanced on the device whose platform stability is adjusted.

The fall efficacy scale
The fall efficacy scale consists of 10 questions rated on a 10-point Likert scale. Getting more than 70 points from the scale indicates fear of falling.

Time up and go test
Time up and go testing will be performed to determine fall risk and measure balance, sit-to-stand and walking progress. Minimal detectable change in Parkinson's patients. It is 3.5 seconds. (10.2522/ptj.20090126.)

The 8-item version of the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8)
The 8-item version of the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8)is a shortened version of the 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). It is a patient-reported outcome measure used to measure people's quality of life. It consists of 8 questions, each question is scored between 0-4. Higher scores indicate worse quality of life.

The Five Times Sit to Stand Test
The Five Times Sit to Stand Test measures one aspect of transfer skill. The test provides a method to quantify functional lower extremity strength and/or identify movement strategies a patient uses to complete transitional movements. The patient is asked to stand up quickly and sit down 5 times and the time is recorded.
