Abstract
Background
Impaired posture is strongly associated with function particularly in patients with parkinsonian disease (PD).
Objective
To detect the effect of sensory integration training on postural instability in elderly PD following stereotactic surgery.
Patients and methods
A total of 27 patients with idiopathic PD were assessed before and after 12 weeks by the postural stability test. They were randomly assigned into three groups: group I (sensory integration training), group II (stereotactic surgery), and group III (sensory integration training after 10 days postoperatively).
Results
There was significant improvement in group III more than in groups I and II. The percent of improvement of group III was higher concerning the overall stability index (48.86%, t=7.088 and P=0.0001(, anterior/posterior index (74.61%, t=21.240 and P=0.0001), and medial/lateral index (55.81%, t=14.014 and P=0.0001). Group III was superior to groups I and II (P=0.026 and 0.001, 0.040 and 0.0001, and 0.049 and 0.0001).
Conclusion
Sensory integration training improved postural stability in elderly with PD following stereotactic surgery.
