BackgroundThis study aimed to examine the effect of a 12-week progressive trunk resistance and stretching exercise program on fall-related factors in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).MethodsA randomized study assessed a progressive trunk resistance and stretching exercise program over a 12-week period. A total of 17 patients with PD participated and wererandomly allocated into an exercise group (n = 10) or a control group (n = 7). Participants in the exercise group completed the exercise program in 60- to 90-min sessions for three days per week. Primary and secondary outcome measures included the trunk mobility scale, functional fitness test, standing balance, and sit-to-walk test.ResultsThe exercise group showed improvements in functional fitness, trunk mobility, standing balance, and dynamic stability compared with the control group (all p ConclusionThis 12-week exercise program improved fall-related factors in patients with PD and may lead to prevention of fall-related injuries.
