Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Ballet-Based Dance Therapy
Participants in this arm will engage in an 8-week ballet-based dance therapy program, specifically designed to enhance functional capacity, balance, peripheral muscle strength, cognitive function, and overall quality of life. The program will be conducted twice a week, with each session lasting approximately 60 minutes. The dance exercises will be tailored to meet the needs of individuals with Parkinson's disease, focusing on improving motor skills, flexibility, and coordination. The primary goal is to assess the impact of ballet-based exercises on various parameters such as respiratory function, balance, and muscle strength.
Ballet-Based Dance Therapy
An 8-week ballet-based dance therapy program designed to improve balance, flexibility, peripheral muscle strength, cognitive functions, and overall functional capacity in Parkinson's disease patients. The therapy will be conducted twice a week, with each session lasting approximately 60 minutes. The exercises will be adapted to the participants' physical abilities and will focus on enhancing motor coordination, strength, and stability through ballet-inspired movements.
Standard Care with Exercise Counseling
Participants in this arm will continue with their standard medical treatment for Parkinson's disease, including pharmacological management and routine care. Additionally, they will receive a one-time exercise counseling session delivered by a physiotherapist and an informational brochure that includes recommendations for general, unsupervised home-based exercises suitable for Parkinson's patients. No structured or supervised exercise sessions will be provided.
Standard Care with Exercise Counseling
Participants in the control group will receive standard care for Parkinson's disease, including pharmacological management and routine clinical follow-up. Additionally, they will receive a one-time exercise counseling session and an informational brochure outlining general home-based exercises appropriate for individuals with Parkinson's disease. No supervised or structured exercise sessions will be conducted.
