Opis

It is a chronic progressive degenerative disorder of the extrapyramidal system caused by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and characterized by tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and disturbance of gait and posture. The neuropsychiatric symptoms of Parkinson's disease may include depression, psychosis, apathy, and impulse control disorders that are linked with the poor quality of life due to the progression of the disease. Despite this, cognitive impairment in PD is of great significance in terms of therapeutic approaches in order to deal with motor deficits of the disorder. Multiple studies have revealed that exercise has been proven to be effective for the maintenance of health and well-being in Parkinson's. More importantly, it is shown to play a significant role in addressing secondary prevention based on strength, flexibility, functional independence as well as gait and balance respectively.We hope to analyze the effect of physical therapy on posture and balance in people with Parkinson's disease through this book.
