Summary

The purpose of this randomised and controlled study is to investigate the effects of walking training combined with respiratory muscle training on pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, and functional exercise capacity.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

OTHER

Walking and respiratory training

Walking and respiratory muscle training group ( W+ RMT) received walking training in addition to respiratory muscle training for a period of 8 weeks. Walking training was performed at least 5 days a week, twice a day, for 15 min. Walking distance was calculated according to patients' 6 minute walking distance. Respiratory muscle training was performed using the threshold loading method as inspiratory and expiratory muscle training. This training was applied at least 5 days per week, twice a day, 15 minutes each session. (15 minutes inspiratory muscle training + 15 minutes expiratory muscle training). A Threshold Inspiratory Muscle Trainer (IMT) and threshold positive expiratory pressure (Threshold PEP) were used for the training. Patients were called for the hospital once a week to asses mouth pressure and 6 minute walking test (6 MWT) and their training intensity was arranged
