Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Virtual Reality and Motor Imagery along with Routine Physical Therapy in motor function and balance in patients with Parkinson disease.

Detailed Description

This randomized control trial is the single blinded, single centered study. Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials guidelines are used as study protocol. Sixty three patients of Parkinson Disease (Modified Hoehn and Yahr stages I-III) will randomly allocate into three groups.

Group A will be given a 60 min session of Virtual Reality along with Routine Physical Therapy.

Group B will be given a 60 min session of Motor Imagery along with Routine Physical Therapy.

Group C will be given a 40 min session of Routine Physical Therapy and after a short period of rest,20 min for walking and cycling.

These treatment sessions will be given to each group at every alternative day (3 days per week) for 12 weeks.

Outcome measures are

1. Berg Balance Scale

2. Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale

3. The Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (part III) The Assessments will be recorded at baseline, at 6th and 12th weeks of therapy, and after one month of discontinuation of therapy.

Conditions

Plantar Fasciitis

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: SINGLE

Study Groups

Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

1. Warm-up will be performed for 10 to 15 minutes by light jogging, elliptical machine, stationary cycle or an upper body ergometer

2. Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization , will be applied at 30 to 60 degrees angle for 40 to 120 seconds

3. Stretching, for 30 seconds (3 rep)

4. Strengthening exercises, high repetitions with low intensity exercise

5. Cryotherapy for 10 to 20 min

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

Intervention Type: OTHER

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization is used for a mechanical benefit for the therapist providing deeper approach and braces remodeling of connective tissues through dissolution of extravagant fibrosis, while provoking repair and reconstructing forwarded by the recruitment of fibroblast.

Compressive Myofascial Release Technique

Compressive myofascial release technique will be applied 5 minutes, after a warmup of 10 to 15 minutes.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Compressive Myofascial Release Technique

Intervention Type: OTHER

Compressive Myofascial Release Technique is a technique of soft tissue stretching that uses compression and sustained myofascial stretches to create a releasing force in the targeted area
