Effects Of Strategy Training And PNF On Balance, Gait, And Independence In Parkinson's Disease

Effects of Strategy Training Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Technique on Balance, Gait, and Functional Independence in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of Strategy Training and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) on balance, gait, and functional independence in patients with Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease leads to impaired motor function, reduced balance, and decreased independence. Physiotherapy interventions such as strategy-based training and PNF may help improve mobility and functional performance. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving Strategy Training and the other receiving PNF intervention. Outcome measures including balance tests, gait assessment, and functional independence scales will be evaluated before and after treatment. The study aims to determine which intervention is more effective in improving functional outcomes in Parkinson's disease patients.

Inclusion Criteria:Diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Aged 40 to 80 years UPDRS level should be 2 and score will be 20-60 Able to walk independently or with minimal assistance Cognitively able to follow instructions
