Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease which leads to postural and gait disorders, limitation in mobility, activities of daily living and disability. Parkinson’s disease (PD) leads to the deterioration of gait and balance abilities , decline in physical activity, and decreased quality of life.. Therefore, to prevent balance-related problems and to facilitate the maintenance of a physically active lifestyle, effective nonpharmacological strategies such as novel exercise regimes need to be established for PD. Aims and methods:The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of the highly challenging balance training HI balance program, a highly challenging balance training regimen that incorporates dual tasking vs rehabilitation program on balance and gait in PD patients.Participants with PD (n = 30) were randomized, either to the 10-week Hi Balance program (n =15) or to the control group (n = 15). Participants were evaluated before and after the intervention. The main outcomes were for balance performance (Mini-BESTest), and for gait (Dynamic gait index). RESULTS:A total of 30 participants completed the study. After the intervention, the between group comparison showed significantly improved balance and gait performance in the training group. The participants in the training group (Group A Highly challenging group) improved their balance, gait and performance of the cognitive task while walking, as compared with the control group (Group B Rehabilitation group). CONCLUSIONS: The Hi Balance program significantly benefited balance and gait abilities when compared with general rehabilitation group and showed promising transfer effects to everyday living. Long-term follow-up assessments will further explore these effects.
