Official title
Comparison of Motor-Motor and Cognitive-Motor Dual-Task Training in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Overview
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of motor-motor dual-task training and cognitive-motor dual-task training in patients with Parkinson's disease.The main questions it aims to answer are: \- Whether there is a difference between motor-motor dual-task training and cognitive-motor dual-task training in patients with Parkinson's disease in terms of their effects on motor symptoms, balance, gait, functional mobility, activities of daily living, dual-task activities, cognitive functions, and balance confidence. Researchers will compare single-task training, motor-motor dual task training and cogvitive-motor dual task training. Participants will: * Receive exercise training at the study clinic twice a week for approximately 45 minutes each time, for 6 weeks. * Participate in assessments at the study clinic before and after exercise training.
Interventions
- Other Single Task Exercise Training
Single task balance and walking exercises. 5-minute warm-up period, followed by 15 minutes of balance exercises and 15 minutes of walking exercises with a 5-minute rest in between, and then a 5-minute cool-down period. - Other Motor-Motor Dual Task Exercise Training
Motor-motor dual task balance and walking exercises. Motor-motor dual task balance and walking exercises. 5-minute warm-up period, followed by 15 minutes of balance exercises and 15 minutes of walking exercises concurrently performed with upper extremity motor tasks with a 5-minute rest in between, and then a 5-minute cool-down period. - Other Cognitive-Motor Dual Task Exercise Training
Cognitive-motor dual task balance and walking exercises. Cognitive-motor dual task balance and walking exercises. 5-minute warm-up period, followed by 15 minutes of balance exercises and 15 minutes of walking exercises concurrently performed with cognitive tasks with a 5-minute rest in between, and then a 5-minute cool-down period.
