Effect of Obstacle Negotiation Training on Gait Parameters in Individuals with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Subject and method: 24 subjects with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease were randomly allocated to one of the two groups: Experimental group (group 1, n = 12) received 6 sessions of conventional therapy along with obstacle negotiation training and the control group (group 2, n = 12) received only the conventional training. Performance of both the groups was evaluated on 10m walkway (normalized stride length, cadence and walking speed).
Results: The post intervention gait parameters of experimental group were more statistically significant over control group with p
Conclusion: Obstacle negotiation training has a significant impact in improving normalized stride length, cadence and walking speed in Idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
