Brief Summary

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

Patients with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease have balance and gait problems due to sensory and motor impairments. In the literature, there are lots of studies including various approaches for rehabilitation of these parameters such as sensory interventions, conservative treatments, neurophysiological approaches and motor imagery. However, taking into account of literature, there is no study investigating the effects on balance and gait of cervical mobilization by stimulating proprioceptors and vestibular receptors. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the acute effect of cervical mobilization on balance and gait in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

Detailed Description

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

Patients with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease have balance and gait problems due to sensory and motor impairments. In the literature, there are lots of studies including various approaches for rehabilitation of these parameters such as sensory interventions, conservative treatments, neurophysiological approaches and motor imagery. The posture of the cervical region is impaired by the findings of the disease such as rigidity, flexor posture and loss of axial rotation. Considering that the cervical region is rich in proprioceptors and one of the key points for the vestibular system, interventions to this area can be thought to contribute to postural control and gait. However, taking into account of literature, there is no study investigating the effects on balance and gait of cervical mobilization by stimulating proprioceptors and vestibular receptors. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the acute effect of cervical mobilization on balance and gait in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

Study Groups

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

control group

There was no intervention in the control group during the study (At the end of study all patients were received home-based exercise)

Group Type OTHER

control

Intervention Type OTHER

There was no intervention in the control group during study. At the end of study all patients were received home-based exercise tailored to each individual's needs which include stretching, strengthening, balance and gait exercise and posture exercise

mobilization group

Cervical mobilization was applied to the mobilization group. Cervical mobilization techniques were applied for 10 minutes in the supine position. (At the end of study all patients were received home- based exercise)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

cervical mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

Cervical mobilization techniques were applied in the study. Within the scope of application; rotation with traction, lateral gliding, anterior-posterior gliding with traction, bridging and stroking techniques to the paravertebral muscles were used. Mobilization were performed at grade A (mobilization in painless joint range) and grade B (continuous stretching at the end of the joint range). The mobilization were applied during 10 minutes.

At the end of study all patients were received home-based exercise tailored to each individual's needs which include stretching, strengthening, balance and gait exercise and posture exercise

control

Intervention Type OTHER

There was no intervention in the control group during study. At the end of study all patients were received home-based exercise tailored to each individual's needs which include stretching, strengthening, balance and gait exercise and posture exercise
