Clinical Trial Summary

To determine the effects of Lee Silverman Voice Treatment BIG on dynamic balance in Parkinson's patients

Description:

This study will be conducted to compare the effects of Lee Silverman Voice Treatment BIG and conventional physiotherapy on dynamic balance in patients of PD. Patients will be recruited according to inclusion criteria and data will be collected from Riphah rehabilitation center, National Hospital Lahore. Dynamic gait index will be used as data collection tool to test dynamic balance of patients. Patients will be allocated to intervention groups by randomization. After approval from ethical committee, data collection will be started and informed consent will be taken from all patients.
