Abstract
Introduction: Parkinson’s disease is a chronic progressive disease of the central nervous system which is associated with a degeneration of the dopamine producing cells in the substantia nigra. Gait is one of the main impairments that causes the greatest handicap to persons with Parkinson’s. Gait training is trained in the early stage of this disease to triumph over the difficulties. This study is planned to establish the effectiveness of visual cueing in improving the gait parameters in patient with Parkinson’s disease. Objectives: Primary objective of this study was to find out the Effectiveness of visual cues with dual task in improving gait parameters in patient with Parkinson’s disease. Secondary objective of this study was to compare the Effective of visual and visual cues along with dual task activities. Methods: Thirty participants between the ages of 45- 65 years, with the clinical diagnosis patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. Thirty patients were divided into two groups, Group-I received visual cueing (n=15) and Group-II received visual cueing along with dual tasks activities (n=15). Both the groups were trained for a time period of 30 minutes, 3days a week for 6 weeks. Results: After 6 weeks of treatment period, visual cueing group-I scored significantly higher with the parameters of gait such as Stride length and Walking velocity with ‘t’ values 3.1494 and 4.2314 respectively at p<0.05 thus proving that result of the study suggests that there is significant difference between the pre and post-test in the study when “t” was performed. Conclusion: The Visual cueing was more effective in improving the gait parameters as compare to visual cues along with dual task activities in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
