An Observational Study To Analyze The Effect Between Aerobic Exercise And Resistance Training In Parkinson Disease To Improve Balance, Mobility And Quality Of Life

Background: Parkinson disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder. Although clinical diagnosis rests on the presence of cardinal sign include bradykinesia, resting tremor and rigidity and other. In terms of the number of people affected, this disease is a common condition, with approximately 6·1 million people who had been affected worldwide in 2016. Parkinson disease often causes reduced walking ability, postural rigidity, muscle weakness, and functional limitations (i.e. difficulty in initiating or terminating movements), which can affect daily activities and quality of life. Therefore, this study evaluated changes in mobility, balance and quality of life using the timed up and go test and SF-36 scale after a 12-week supervised exercise program.

Objective: The

objective of the study is to i) Observe or assess the efficacy of aerobic exercises in Parkinson disease, ii) Observe or assess the efficacy of resisitance training in Parkinson disease, iii) Finally the study will compare the effects of aerobic and resistance training in Parkinson to analyze the effects on mobility or quality of life.

Method: 60 patient diagnosed with the Parkinson disease by Physiotherapy department, neurology or neurosciences department OPD were initially assessed for the inclusion or exclusion criteria. Prior to the treatment procedure patient are oriented to the study. Participants are divided into 2 groups and both groups assessed for the pre test parameter.Outcome measure: Timed up and go test (TUG) and SF- 36 Scale is used for measuring pre and post intervention evaluation.

Results: The Study was statistically significant improvements in mobility, balance and quality of life (p < 0.05). improving functional ability. At the end of 12 week intervention, for both group: Group A (Aerobic exercises) and Group B (resistance training) showed improvement in the symptoms. Based on the

results the study supports research hypothesis that there was a significant improvement lower TUG scores, indicating better functional mobility, and higher SF-36 scores, indicating improving in overall quality of life associated with Parkinson disease.

Conclusion: The

Findings: of the interventions indicate that exercise program whether resistance exercises or aerobic exercises, both approaches lead to improvements in mobility, balance, functional ability and quality of life. However, the

results suggest that resistance exercises may be slightly better compared to aerobic exercise.
