Brief Summary

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

Parkinson's disease is characterized by cardinal motor signs and motor freezing, gait, posture and balance disorder. About 80% of the causes of falls in Parkinson's patients are due to postural instability and motor freezing, and patients' quality of life is significantly affected. Loss of balance and falls, which are frequently experienced in Parkinson's patients, cause individuals to feel insecure during activities. It is thought that the quality of life of PD patients whose movements are restricted due to the fear of falling may also be negatively affected. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio is a marker of peripheral inflammation. The relationship of peripheral inflammation to balance, activity-specific balance confidence, and quality of life in individuals is unclear. The aim of this study was to compare balance, activity-specific balance confidence, quality of life, and the relationship between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in Parkinson's patients with and without freezing.

Parkinson's disease is characterized by cardinal motor signs and motor freezing, gait, posture and balance disorder. About 80% of the causes of falls in Parkinson's patients are due to postural instability and motor freezing, and patients' quality of life is significantly affected. Loss of balance and falls, which are frequently experienced in Parkinson's patients, cause individuals to feel insecure during activities. It is thought that the quality of life of PD patients whose movements are restricted due to the fear of falling may also be negatively affected. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio is a marker of peripheral inflammation. The relationship of peripheral inflammation to balance, activity-specific balance confidence, and quality of life in individuals is unclear.

The aim of this study was to compare balance, activity-specific balance confidence, quality of life, and the relationship between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in Parkinson's patients with and without freezing.

A total of 20 Parkinson's Disease age of older the 50 participate in the research. Participants were divide into two groups with and without freezing.
