Functional balance training in people with Parkinson's disease: a protocol of balanceHOME randomized control trial with crossover.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Balance disturbances in Parkinson's Disease (PD) are usually assessed in a single-task as well as standard balance physiotherapy is carried out in isolated environments. Conversely, daily activities are developed in highly challenging environments. Although functional balance training (FBT) is included in the latest protocols, several methodological issues have not yet been considered. In the proposed single-blinded randomized control trial with crossover (NCT04963894), the aims are (1) to quantify the effects achieved by domiciliary FBT (balanceHOME program) in participants with and without cognitive impairment, and (2) to compare them with the effects of a passive-control period and a conventional face-to-face physiotherapy program for PD.
