Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of Simple Gymnastics Training on Limb motor function and mental health in Parkinson's Patients in the Community (≥60 year old) with swallowing disorders. It primarily aims to address two key aspects: 1) the prevalence of Parkinson's Diseases among community-dwelling elderly individuals, and 2) the effects of Simple Gymnastics Training on Limb motor function and mental health in community-dwelling Parkinson's Patients. All patients are required to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) Simple Gymnastics Training, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 30 minutes each.
