About this trial
This study aims to contribute to clinical applications by investigating the effectiveness of functional rotation exercises on fall risk, mobility, and balance in patients diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

Individuals aged 50-70 years
Mini Mental State Test score ≥ 24
Individuals whose medical treatment has been stable in the last 6 weeks

Treatments tested in this trial
conventional physiotherapy
Other interventionConventional physiotherapy will be applied for 6 weeks, with 3 sessions per week, each session lasting approximately 40-50 minutes. Participants will be given stretching and flexibility exercises (trunk, shoulder and lower extremity muscle groups) in each session, with 10 repetitions x 15 seconds. Balance exercises (3 repetitions for 30-45 seconds in static and dynamic balance positions), walking exercises on a flat surface, and strengthening exercises (2-3 sets, 10-12 repetitions with resistance band or dumbbells) will be performed.
conventional physiotherapy + exercise
Other interventionThis group will receive conventional physical therapy and functional rotation exercises for 6 weeks, with 3 sessions per week, each session lasting approximately 40-50 minutes.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Timed Up and Go Test
This outcome measure will be used to assess functional mobility using a virtual reality-based adaptation of the Timed Up and Go test. Test completion time will be automatically recorded by the system. Validity and reliability will be examined through comparison with the conventional Timed Up and Go test and repeated measurements.
Time frame
10 weeks2
Berg Balance Test
Berg Balance Test is consisting of 14 items and measures the ability of individuals to maintain balance while performing functional tasks. Each task is scored from 0 (cannot perform independently) to 4 (stated best performance). 0-20 points are interpreted as high risk of falling, between 21-40 points as medium risk of falling, and between 41-56 points as low risk.
