Brief summary
This study aims to contribute to clinical applications by investigating the effectiveness of functional rotation exercises on fall risk, mobility, and balance in patients diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
Detailed description
This study aims to investigate the clinical effects of functional rotation exercises on fall risk and mobility in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group. Demographic characteristics of all participants will be collected, and then the Timed Up and Walk Test will be used to assess fall risk, the 10-Meter Walk Test to assess mobility, and the Berg Balance Scale to assess functional balance. An extra exercise program will be applied to participants in the experimental group.
Interventions
OTHERconventional physiotherapy
Conventional physiotherapy will be applied for 6 weeks, with 3 sessions per week, each session lasting approximately 40-50 minutes. Participants will be given stretching and flexibility exercises (trunk, shoulder and lower extremity muscle groups) in each session, with 10 repetitions x 15 seconds. Balance exercises (3 repetitions for 30-45 seconds in static and dynamic balance positions), walking exercises on a flat surface, and strengthening exercises (2-3 sets, 10-12 repetitions with resistance band or dumbbells) will be performed.
OTHERconventional physiotherapy + exercise
This group will receive conventional physical therapy and functional rotation exercises for 6 weeks, with 3 sessions per week, each session lasting approximately 40-50 minutes.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Timed Up and Go Test | 10 weeks | This outcome measure will be used to assess functional mobility using a virtual reality-based adaptation of the Timed Up and Go test. Test completion time will be automatically recorded by the system. Validity and reliability will be examined through comparison with the conventional Timed Up and Go test and repeated measurements. |
| Berg Balance Test | 10 weeks | Berg Balance Test is consisting of 14 items and measures the ability of individuals to maintain balance while performing functional tasks. Each task is scored from 0 (cannot perform independently) to 4 (stated best performance). 0-20 points are interpreted as high risk of falling, between 21-40 points as medium risk of falling, and between 41-56 points as low risk. |
