Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Virtual Reality and Motor Imagery along with Routine Physical Therapy in motor function and balance in patients with Parkinson disease.

Detailed description

This randomized control trial is the single blinded, single centered study. Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials guidelines are used as study protocol. Sixty three patients of Parkinson Disease (Modified Hoehn and Yahr stages I-III) will randomly allocate into three groups. Group A will be given a 60 min session of Virtual Reality along with Routine Physical Therapy. Group B will be given a 60 min session of Motor Imagery along with Routine Physical Therapy. Group C will be given a 40 min session of Routine Physical Therapy and after a short period of rest,20 min for walking and cycling. These treatment sessions will be given to each group at every alternative day (3 days per week) for 12 weeks. Outcome measures are 1. Berg Balance Scale 2. Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale 3. The Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (part III) The Assessments will be recorded at baseline, at 6th and 12th weeks of therapy, and after one month of discontinuation of therapy.

Conditions

• Plantar Fasciitis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization	Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization is used for a mechanical benefit for the therapist providing deeper approach and braces remodeling of connective tissues through dissolution of extravagant fibrosis, while provoking repair and reconstructing forwarded by the recruitment of fibroblast.
OTHER	Compressive Myofascial Release Technique	Compressive Myofascial Release Technique is a technique of soft tissue stretching that uses compression and sustained myofascial stretches to create a releasing force in the targeted area
