Brief Summary

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

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and gait training exercises are specifically used to treat balance, gait and functional activities in Parkinson s patients. PNF has been compared with gait training and balance training in other conditions like stroke and multiple sclerosis but limited literatures are present in which PNF has been compared with gait training in Parkinson patients.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PNF exercises and Body weight supported treadmill gait training

Intervention Type OTHER

PNF Exercises:

.Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises include D1 Flexion and D1 Extension of lower limb ,D2 flexion D2 extension of lower limb .rhythmic initiation ,hold relax ,pelvic pattern and contract relax technique . subjects will perform each exercise for 30sec with resting interval of 30 to 60 seconds Will be provided after completion of each exercise. 3 sessions will be held per week, For 8 weeks

Gait training:

Body weight supported treadmill gait training for 20 minutes 3 sessions per week.

In total all PNF exercises with gait training will be held for 40-45 minutes.

Gait training without PNF

Treadmil gait training and Routine physical therapy
