Abstract

Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms and various non-physical symptoms. Balance impairments are common in individuals with PD and can increase the risk of falls. Gaze stability, the ability to maintain a stable gaze while the head is moving, is an important aspect of postural control and can contribute to balance impairments in PD. Methods: The study conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with individuals diagnosed with PD. Two groups were formed: one receiving balance training with gaze stability exercises and the other receiving balance training without gaze stability exercises. Measurements were taken before and after the two-month intervention period. Results: The gender distribution showed that there were 12 men and 18 women in Group A, and 17 men and 13 women in Group B. Within both groups, there were significant improvements in self-care, range of motion, postural instability, and falling values after the intervention. Conclusion: Incorporating gaze stability exercises in balance training programs for individuals with PD can improve fall frequency, mobility, self-care skills, and balance. Gaze stability exercises are effective in addressing postural instability and enhancing balance and gait abilities. These findings suggest the potential benefits of incorporating gaze stability exercises in interventions to reduce fall risk and improve the quality of life for individuals with PD.
