From the registry

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term condition that affects movement, balance, and thinking abilities. It can cause tremor, stiffness, slow movements, and difficulty maintaining balance. In addition to these physical problems, many people with PD also experience difficulties with memory, attention, and other cognitive functions. The balance system in the inner ear (vestibular system) helps maintain posture and orientation, but this system may not work properly in people with PD. This study aims to compare two different types of exercise programs to improve movement, balance, and cognitive abilities in individuals with PD. One program focuses on exercises that stimulate the balance system (vestibular rehabilitation), while the other combines thinking and movement activities at the same time (dual-task training). Thirty-six people with PD will take part in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: vestibular exercise group, dual-task exercise group, or control group. Exercises will be done under the supervision of a physiotherapist twice a week for…
