Virtual Reality Verses Conventional Physical Therapy in Parkinson's Disease Patients

Parkinson's disease is a long-term neurological condition that affects movement, balance, and daily activities. People with Parkinson's disease often experience symptoms such as slowness of movement, stiffness, tremors, and difficulty with walking and balance. Physical therapy is commonly used to help improve mobility and quality of life in these patients. This study aims to compare virtual reality-based physical therapy with conventional physical therapy in individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Virtual reality therapy uses interactive computer-based exercises, while conventional physical therapy includes traditional exercises provided by a physiotherapist. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive virtual reality-based physical therapy, and the other group will receive conventional physical therapy. Both groups will follow structured treatment programs over a defined period. Outcomes such as balance, mobility, walking ability, and functional independence will be assessed before and after the intervention. The results of this study may help determine whether virtual reality-based physical therapy is more effective, equally effective, or less effective than conventional physical therapy for improving movement and daily functioning in people with Parkinson's disease.
