Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients with Parkinson's Disease frequently present impaired postural control that leads to loss of stability and increased risk of falls.Core system, includes passive structures of the thoracolumbar spine and pelvis that work as a unit to stabilize the body and spine against forces generated from distal body segments as well as forces generated from expected or unexpected perturbations.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of an intervention based on core stability in patients with Parkinson's Disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Core muscle coordination is important because lack of sufficient core muscle coordination can lead to decreased efficiency of postural control and functional activity. Clinical manifestations of patients with Parkinson's Disease include postural instability. Core system could be relevant to be included in an intervention. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of an intervention based on core stability in patients with Parkinson's Disease.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental group

Patients were included in a core stability intervention. It will be done with different stages and increasing gradually.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Core stability

Intervention Type OTHER

Core stability intervention will be done with different stages and increasing gradually. The training program starts with exercises that isolate specific core muscles but progressing to include complex movements and incorporate core stability in dynamic tasks.

Control group

Standard intervention consisting of exercises aimed at improving balance.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

Standard intervention will include active exercises based on active joint mobilizations, muscle stretching and motor coordination.
