Summary

This study aims to contribute to clinical applications by investigating the effectiveness of functional rotation exercises on fall risk, mobility, and balance in patients diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

Detailed description

This study aims to investigate the clinical effects of functional rotation exercises on fall risk and mobility in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group. Demographic characteristics of all participants will be collected, and then the Timed Up and Walk Test will be used to assess fall risk, the 10-Meter Walk Test to assess mobility, and the Berg Balance Scale to assess functional balance. An extra exercise program will be applied to participants in the experimental group.

Conditions

• Parkinson Disease
• Parkinsonism

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	conventional physiotherapy	Conventional physiotherapy will be applied for 6 weeks, with 3 sessions per week, each session lasting approximately 40-50 minutes. Participants will be given stretching and flexibility exercises (trunk, shoulder and lower extremity muscle groups) in each session, with 10 repetitions x 15 seconds. Balance exercises (3 repetitions for 30-45 seconds in static and dynamic balance positions), walking exercises on a flat surface, and strengthening exercises (2-3 sets, 10-12 repetitions with resistance band or dumbbells) will be performed.
OTHER	conventional physiotherapy + exercise	This group will receive conventional physical therapy and functional rotation exercises for 6 weeks, with 3 sessions per week, each session lasting approximately 40-50 minutes.
