Effects of physical exercise interventions on balance, postural stability and general mobility in Parkinson's disease: a network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess which type of physical exercise intervention has the most beneficial effects on balance, postural stability and general mobility in patients with Parkinson's disease. These parameters were assessed using the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (MiniBESTest) and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG).

Design

Network meta-analysis.

The network meta-analysis included pairwise and indirect comparisons of results on th
