Effects of Whole Body Vibration Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Pattern With Rhythmic Based Training on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Parkinson's Disease.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study has important clinical, academic, and practical relevance in neuromuscular rehabilitation. Clinically, it aims to identify effective and tolerable rehabilitation strategies for individuals with Parkinson's disease by comparing whole-body vibration therapy with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) patterns combined with rhythmic-based training, thereby supporting evidence-based physiotherapy practice and improving patient adherence. Academically, it contributes to the limited literature on comparative effectiveness of these interventions and incorporates patient-centered outcomes such as exercise perception, which are often underreported. From a practical and societal perspective, identifying a more acceptable and effective approach may enhance long-term participation in rehabilitation, potentially slow disease progression, improve quality of life, and reduce the overall healthcare burden associated with Parkinson's disease.
