PC in Stance and During Functional Mobility Following BIG for PD

Parkinson Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: Postural Control in Stance and During Functional Mobility Following Management of Parkinson's Disease With LSVT BIG Training

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

LSVT BIG is an intensive, amplitude based rehabilitation program that has been demonstrated to improve one of the hallmark features of Parkinson's disease, specifically bradykinesia. We are interested in knowing the effects of this therapeutic approach on postural control and gait parameters.

Clinical Trial Description

LSVT BIG is an intensive, amplitude based rehabilitation program that has been demonstrated to improve one of the hallmark features of Parkinson's disease, specifically bradykinesia. Postural instability and gait disturbance is another debilitating feature of Parkinson's disease. While LSVT BIG targets postural correction through exercises which challenge balance, the effect of this intervention on stability margins and functional balance assessments have not been well established in the literature. This study includes outcome measures not previously examined with this intervention and may provide valuable evidence regarding the impact of this intervention on postural control, balance and falls risk. Alternative amplitude programs have also been designed to meet the needs of patients with PD. These programs adjust frequencies for patients and individualize sessions more than LSVT BIG. We are interested in knowing if these alternative frequencies and amplitude approaches are similarly as effective as LSVT BIG in our outcome measures. ;
