Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this single blind randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of sensory-perception-motor training on cognitive functions, balance and gait in patients with Parkinson's Disease? The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on balance in patients with Parkinson's Disease? - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on cognitive functions in patients with Parkinson's Disease? - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on gait in patients with Parkinson's Disease? Patients in the control group will be asked to continue their routine lives and return for evaluation after 8 weeks. Individuals in the control group will be followed without any additional treatment or advice. Patients in the study group will receive sensory-perceptual-motor training for 60 minutes, 3 days a week for 8 weeks, in addition to their routine lives. No additional recommendations will be given to individuals in either group.

Clinical Trial Description

30 patients will be included in the study. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be divided into two groups, study and control groups, by using a table of random numbers, ensuring that there are equal numbers of patients in each group. Demographic and clinical information of all patients participating in the study will be recorded. Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test and Modified Hoehn Yahr Staging Scale scores of all participants will be recorded by the neurologist and eligible patients will be included in the study. Evaluations to be applied to the groups within the scope of the study: Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part 3 , Static posturography measurement, Functional Reaching Test , Dynamic Gait Index , Rapid Mild Cognitive Impairment Screening, Stroop Test, Symbol Digit Modalities Test , Clock Drawing Test. Assessments will be made during the patients' "on" period (approximately 60 minutes after medication intake). On the first day of the study, demographic information will be recorded in both groups and the patients participating in the study will be randomized. After randomization, patients in the control group will be asked to continue their routine lives and return for evaluation after 8 weeks. Individuals in the control group will be followed without any additional treatment or advice. Patients in the study group will receive sensory-perceptual-motor training for 60 minutes, 3 days a week for 8 weeks, in addition to their routine lives. No additional recommendations will be given to individuals in either group. Patients will be excluded from the study if they participate in any physiotherapy and rehabilitation program during the study. Patients in the study group will be evaluated 3 times in total, at the beginning of the study, at the end of the study (in the 8th week) and 4 weeks after the end of the study (in the 12th week), and patients in the control group will be evaluated 2 times in total, at the beginning of the study and in the 8th week. ;
