Intervention Type: Procedure, Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Our research focused on understanding the interplay between brain excitability and balance function in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), alongside evaluating effective physical therapy methods. It highlights the prevalence of non-motor disorders and cognitive impairments among PD patients, including balance and postural issues, cognitive function decline, and gait instability. Additionally, it notes that PD patients exhibit abnormal electrophysiological responses, indicating altered central excitability.
