Summary

Parkinson's Disease is an incurable and progressive disease. Treatment includes medication and non-pharmacological intervention such as physiotherapy. Physiotherapy is a main component of non-pharmacological interventions. It includes exercise to strengthen the muscles; improves balance and walking, and adopts the use of visual cue training. Treatment has been found to be effective in patients with mild impairment up to 6 months post-treatment. The present study will investigate the effectiveness of treatment for patients with mild to moderate impairment for short term (3-month) and long term (1 year). The hypothesis is that compared to patient education alone, physiotherapy intervention for patients with Parkinson's disease leads to improve function and quality of life.
