Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Hypotheses:
H1: Incorporating visual feedback-based trunk and lower extremity exercises using a laser pointer into standard rehabilitation improves body structure and function in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
H2: Incorporating visual feedback-based trunk and lower extremity exercises using a laser pointer into standard rehabilitation enhances activity and participation in individuals with Parkinson's disease.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
standard exercise program
Participants in the standard exercise group will receive a physiotherapist-supervised exercise program, performed three times per week for a total duration of eight weeks.
Control Group
The exercises will start with 6-8 repetitions and will increase by 2 repetitions each week. Cervical Region: Cervical rotation, lateral flexion, chin-tuck exercises Upper Extremity: Shoulder joint range of motion exercises with a wand, scapular adduction, shoulder retraction Lower Extremity: Bridge exercise, hip flexion, extension, abduction exercises, knee extension exercises, ankle dorsiflexion - plantar flexion exercises Balance Exercises: Perturbation exercises with eyes open and eyes closed on a hard surface, perturbation exercises with eyes open and eyes closed on a soft surface, maintaining a tandem stance Ambulation: Walking training on a treadmill with a Modified Borg Scale of level 3-4. Walking training will begin with 6 minutes in the first week and will increase by 1 minute each week.

Walking training will begin with 6 minutes in the first week and will increase by 1 minute each week.
Visual Feedback Exercise Group
The visual feedback exercise will be performed using a wearable laser pointer attached to the trunk and lower extremities, along with a visual tracking screen. The exercise duration is 20 minutes. The laser placed on the trunk will be used in various exercises, including maintaining stability in a seated position, on a Swiss ball, while standing, during different movements, and on various surfaces. Additionally, trunk control exercises will involve rotational, vertical-horizontal, and circular movements. Exercises targeting trunk control in a crawling position will also be included. For the lower extremities, the program will focus on ankle dorsiflexion, hip abduction and extension, and knee extension. All exercises will be progressively individualized on a weekly basis.
