Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The aim of this clinical trial is to test whether the application of AO and MI treatment in PD in addition to conventional rehabilitation programs has an additional effect on Balance, Functional Status and Quality of Life.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In recent years, motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) therapy strategies have been used in rehabilitation programs to increase motor learning in PD. Visuomotor training strategies such as AO and MI therapy rely on the activity of the mirror neuron system to facilitate motor re-learning. Mirror neurons are activated during the performance of goal-directed actions, also when observing the same action and visualizing the action in the mind.
The aim of this clinical trial is to test whether the application of AO and MI treatment in PD in addition to conventional rehabilitation programs has an additional effect on Balance, Functional Status and Quality of Life.

Action observation and motor imagery therapy for rehabilitation
Action observation and motor imagery therapy for rehabilitation in Parkinson's Disease in addition to conventional rehabilitation programs.
Action observation and motor imagery therapy for rehabilitation
Action observation; Patients will watch some exercises accompanied by music from a previously prepared video for 10 minutes. Exercises include 8-10 repetitions of abduction-adduction, horizontal abduction-adduction, flexion-extension and supination-pronation movements for the upper extremity, and stepping, forward-backward stepping, side stepping and ankle dorsiflexion movements for the lower extremity.
Motor imagery training; Patients will be asked to visualize the actions they watched in their minds for 10 minutes.
Then the patients will watch the video again and will be asked to perform the exercises while watching.
Sham action observation and motor imagery therapy for rehabilitation
Sham comparator for action observation and motor imagery therapy for rehabilitation in Parkinson's Disease in addition to conventional rehabilitation programs.
Sham action observation and motor imagery therapy for rehabilitation
Sham action observation; Patients will watch a video consisting of static nature photographs for 10 minutes with the same music.
Sham motor imaginary; Patients will think about the video they watched for 10 minutes.
Then, they will watch another video in which the exercises are performed only once, and they will be asked to do the exercises. They will be given enough time to do 8-10 repetitions.
