Abstract:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative disorder that affects balance and increases the risk of falls. Fear of falling is a common problem in PD patients, leading to reduced mobility and quality of life. Procedure: This experimental study included 30 PD patients who underwent balance training for 6 months. The training program consisted of strengthening exercises, static and dynamic balance exercises, and dual-task training. Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Falls Efficacy Scale (FES) were used to assess balance and fear of falling before and after the training program. Results: The results showed significant improvements in balance (p < 0.0001) and reductions in fear of falling (p < 0.0001) after the training program. A strong negative correlation was found between BBS and FES scores before treatment, which weakened after treatment. Conclusion: This study concludes that balance training can improve balance and reduce fear of falling in PD patients. However, the correlation between balance and fear of falling is complex and may involve other factors.
