Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
After including the subjects with pain into the study, to differentiate whether the pain is related to Parkinsons disease or not, the PD Pain Classification Scale (PDPCS) will be utilized. Additionally, the Kings PD Questionnaire will be employed to categorize the pain into various domains. 1.McGill Pain Questionnaire for pain 2.Visual Analogue Scale for pain 3.The Parkinson Disease Questionnaire 39 for Quality of Life Timepoint: Pre- test score will be assessed on the first day before the treatment. On completion of the treatment of four weeks, post interventional assessment will do and the scores obtained will documented for analysis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Kinovea software for posture 2.Mcgill s Torso Muscular Endurance Test Battery for core muscle endurance 3.Transverse Abdominus Activation using Pressure Biofeedback 4.Fingertips to floor (FTF) test for assessing spine flexibilityTimepoint: Pre- test score will be assessed on the first day before the treatment. On completion of the treatment of four weeks, post interventional assessment will do & the scores obtained will documented for analysis.
