Summary

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.

Conditions

• Parkinson Disease (PD)
• Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	PNF exercises and Body weight supported treadmill gait training	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.
OTHER	Body weight supported treadmill gait training and Routine physical therapy	Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training (BWSTT): This will include body weight supported treadmill gait training. 10 % BWSTT or 20% BWSTT. The session will of 20 minutes .3 sessions will be Held per week. Routine physical therapy: Stretching and strengthening of lower extremities In total all BWSTT along with routine physical therapy protocol will be held for 40-45minutes .3 sessions will be held per week.
