The Effect of Balance-focused Exercise Programme in Enhancing the Solus-muscle Activation During Gait Initiation for People With Parkinson Disease

Gait initiation (GI) is a crucial component of walking that requires a balanced muscle activity and postural stability. GI could be challenging for people with neurological condition such as people with Parkinson (PWP), where GI is usually impaired. The purpose of this study is determining effectiveness of comprehensive, balanced-focused exercise programme in controlling the activation of Solus-muscle in people with Parkinson disease. We hypothesise that balance-focus exercise programe could improve Solus-muscle activation during GI. study type: this is a parallel group prospective (10 weeks) randomised single-blinded controlled trial conduct in Kuwait. Participant: People with Parkinson, who met the inclusion criteria.
