| Objective: This study aimed to explore the effect of balance training on the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease(Parkinson’s disease,PD)patients,and to compare the degree of difference between balance training plus medication and medication alone on the motor symptoms and balance function of Parkinson’s disease patients.Methods: The80 patients with primary Parkinson’s disease who were treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from November 2019 to November 2020 were divided into a training group(40 cases)receiving balance training plus drug therapy and a group only In the control group(40 cases)receiving drug treatment,the training group was derived from hospitalized patients,and the control group was derived from outpatient patients.Baseline data such as gender,age,first symptoms,and duration of illness were recorded in the training group and control group.On the premise of not changing the drug treatment plan during the whole study period,the balance training lasted for 4 weeks,5times/week,30min/time.The two groups of patients were evaluated by the same physician with multiple Parkinson’s disease scales before training,after training for 2 weeks,and after training for 4 weeks.The main evaluation scales include The United Parkinson’s Disease Rate Scale Part III(UPDRS-Ⅲ),Hoehn&Yahr grade,Berg Balance scale(BBS),39 Item Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire(PDQ-39),time ―up and go‖ test(TUGT).Results: 1.Baseline data comparison: The comparison between the training group and the control group in terms of gender,age,first symptoms,and duration of disease showed that the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).There was no significant difference between the training group and the control group in the pre-training UPDRS-Ⅲtotal score,Hoehn&Yahr grade,Berg Balance scale total score,PDQ-39 total score,and TUGT score(P>0.05).2.Comparison of the two groups: the training group after 2 weeks of training,the Berg Balance scale total score and TUGT were significantly better than the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the training group after4 weeks of training,the UPDRS-Ⅲ total score,Berg Balance scale total score,PDQ-39 total score,TUGT were significantly better than the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).3.Before and after the training group: After 2 weeks of training,the total score of UPDRS-Ⅲ,the total score of Berg Balance scale,PDQ-39 total score,and TUGT were improved compared with before training,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);after 4 weeks of training,UPDRS-Ⅲ total score,Hoehn&Yahr grade,Berg Balance scale total score,PDQ-39 total score,and TUGT were improved compared with before training,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);after 4 weeks of training,UPDRS-Ⅲ total score,Berg Balance scale total score,PDQ-39 total score,TUGT compared with the improvement after 2 weeks of training,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion: On the basis of conventional drug therapy,supplemented with balance training can significantly improve the motor symptoms of patients with Parkinson’s disease,and its effect is better than that of only conventional anti-Parkinson’s disease drug therapy. |
