Summary

In this study investigators will examine the effects of inspiratory muscle training and balance training in patients with Parkinson's Disease

Detailed description

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the most common type of Parkinsonism and mainly due to degeneration of basal ganglions and substantia nigra occurs. Balance disorders are one of the common problems in patients with Parkinson's disease. These balance disorders; loss of postural reflexes, insufficiency in postural adjustments, rigidity in the trunk and extremities, and many disorders such as akinesia. Because of balance disorders in patients with PD, increase in addiction to daily life activities, causes physical disability. In the case of PD pulmonary problems may be the leading cause of mortality and mortality. Respiratory symptoms in these patients cause problems in weakness, swallowing, coughing, voice and speech functions. When the investigators look at the current literature, the effect of balance and respiration on Parkinson's patients is found to be seperately but their effect on each other is not sufficiently emphasized. For this reason, the researchers' aim to investigate balance and postural control in patients with Parkinson's disease and to increase the strength of respiratory muscles and to improve balance and postural control.
