Title : Therapeutic effectiveness of sensory cues versus without sensory cues on gait dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease
Abstract:
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological movement disorder caused by the progressive degeneration of dopamine producing cells in the substantianigra. Progressive degeneration of these cells developed in cardinal symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, which include tremor, rigidity, postural instability and bradykinesia and reduced gait and balance of PD.
Objective: To find out the effectiveness of sensory cues on the gait impairment in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Methodology:Total 30 PD subjects considered for this study, Each Group dividend equally into 15 participants in each groups.Quasi Experimental Design used in this study. The sampling procedure convenient sampling methods used in this study. Research outcome: Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and The Time Up and Go Test (TUG)
Results: The pre and post test values were assessed by BBS, TUG in group A and group B. The mean difference value of BBS is 31 and 19(P˂0.5), and TUG is 42 and 37(P˂0.5).
Conclusion:The author concluded and found that the Sensory cueing techniques significantly in improving gait and reducing the psychological impact of gait dysfunction in patients with parkinson’s disease.
