Comparative efficacy of 24 exercise types on postural instability in adults with Parkinson's disease: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare, rank and evaluate the 24 exercise types that improve postural instability in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods

We searched the data in PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane library, and Web of Science from their inception date to January 23, 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that aimed at determining the effectiveness of physical activity interventions on postural instability in adults with PD. This review focused on different balance outcome categories: (a) balance test batteries (BBS); (b) static steady-state balance (sSSB); (c) dynamic steady-state balance (dSSB); (d) proactive balance (PB); (e) reactive balance (RB).

Results

Among 10,474 records, 199 studies (patients = 9523) were eligible for qualitative synthesis
