No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Small muscles of the hand are affected due to involuntary movements and slowing of voluntary movements seen in Parkinson's disease. There is a loss of fine dexterity and coordination in the hand. It becomes difficult for patients to grasp and release of the objects. They become unable to perform daily activities such as buttoning up, holding keys, brushing teeth, holding forks, spoons and glasses, and writing. Therefore, a certain part of the rehabilitation program should be devoted to upper extremity rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of action observation therapy and mirror therapy, which have been used in the literature for many years, on upper extremity functions and quality of life in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
