Effectiveness of Video-Based Upper Extremity Exercise Program in Parkinson's Disease

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Over the past decade, virtual reality (VR) has been widely recognized as a therapeutic tool that enables neurological patients to interact with simulated environments through multiple sensory channels. Various sensors can be used in VR systems, with Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Kinect being the most popular. Video game-based training, grounded in VR technology, has emerged as a valid, cost-effective, and easily integrated adjunct to conventional therapy in neurorehabilitation. Compared to traditional exercise methods, video game training offers advantages by allowing users to perform physical activities in a safe and controlled environment. However, some studies have reported limited effects, emphasizing the need for more high-quality research to establish the effectiveness of interactive video games in neurological rehabilitation. This study aims to investigate the effects of a video-based game exercise program targeting the upper extremity in individuals with Parkinson's disease on joint range of motion, proprioception, functionality, postural instability due to kyphotic posture, and quality of life.
