Summary

BACKGROUND: Postural instability and gait abnormalities are cardinal features in Parkinson's disease (PD). It represents one of the most disabling symptoms in the advanced stages of the disease.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of adding computer-based cognitive training to physical therapy interventions on postural stability, locomotion, and cognitive performance in Parkinson's disease patients.

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

DEVICE

REHACOM Software

It is a computer-based cognitive rehabilitation test that includes 32 cognition training tasks for attention/concentration, reaction behavior, memory , logical reasoning \& executive functioning with graded difficulty . It is composed of regular PC , 1G RAM , DVD drive, 100 GB hard drive with windows XP SP3, 128 MB RAM direct 3D graphic card , Screen at least 19" , regular PC keyboard or Rehacom panel \& printer .The Rehacom software version is (patientenpult (1990-1997) EN/ISO-13485-certified). * For each Cognitive training domain there is one hundred levels of difficulty. * Each patient is evaluated from level one(1) ang gradually increase the difficulty till we reach the level that will be used in the treatment sessions as the patient's performance improve we can proceed to the next level. * The period of the session was chosen to be maximum (60 minutes) for each patient with five minutes rest in between each level.

OTHER

A Designed Physical Therapy Program

A designed physiotherapy program consisted of aerobic exercise on treadmill, stretching exercise, Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques, Graduated active exercises, postural correction, gait training, balance training on different base of supports using static and dynamic balance training with reciprocal and weight shifting exercises.
