Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of VR and MI techniques in addition to routine physical therapy on motor skills, balance and ADL in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Detailed Description

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

Parkinson's disease is one of the most common, insidious neurological disorders with major motor symptoms, including bradykinesia, resting tremors, rigidity, and postural disorders. Virtual reality and motor imagery are among the more innovative techniques for rehabilitation of patients with Parkinson's disease that promote motor learning through both explicit and implicit processes.This study is unique in that it examines the effects of VR versus MI on motor skills, balance, and daily living activities in individuals with Parkinson's disease

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
The study would be single blinded as accessor of the study would be kept blind of the treatment group to which patient would be allocated.After the complete initial screening process, every recruited patient will be accessed by an independent assessor, expert will use outcome measuring tools. his will be recorded as baseline measurement assessment

Study Groups

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

Virtual Reality with Routine Physical Therapy

The duration of the VR will be from 10 to 15 minutes during each session and Routine Physical Therapy for 40 minutes which consists of warming-up, stretching, strengthening and active exercises for relaxation, coordination exercises for limbs, trunk, neck, and gait training)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VR with Routine physical therapy and Virtual reality

Intervention Type OTHER

VR group will be treated with virtual reality for 15 to 20 minutes along with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes session 3 days/week for 12 weeks

Motor imagery technique with Routine Physical Therapy

Motor Imagery techniques will be given for 5 to 10 minutes along with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes which consists of warming-up, stretching, strengthening and active exercises for relaxation, coordination exercises for limbs, trunk, neck, and gait training)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Motor Imagery with Routine physical therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

MI group will be treated with virtual reality for 15 to 20 minutes along with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes session 3 days/week for 12 weeks

Routine Physical Therapy

Only routine physical therapy will be given (including warming-up, stretching, strengthening and active exercises for relaxation, coordination exercises for limbs, trunk, neck, and gait training)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Routine physical therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Group A will be given routine physical therapy in 40-min sessions and 20 min of walking and cycling with a short period of rest, every alternate day (3 days per week) for 12 weeks
