Summary For Families
Aiming to reduce balance problems and poor trunk posture that can cause falls and a stooped gait in Parkinson's, this trial tests whether focused core training plus visual feedback can improve upright stability. It combines trunk control exercises to strengthen and coordinate the core muscles that support posture, with mirror therapy that provides visual feedback to retrain movement symmetry and motor patterns; these are rehab approaches meant to complement, not replace, a person’s usual Parkinson’s medications. Looking for people aged 50 to 70 with mild to moderate Parkinson’s (Hoehn and Yahr stages 1,3), on a fixed medication dose, with normal cognition (Mini‑Mental score 24,30), able to rise from a chair without help, and without major dyskinesias, recent seizures or trauma, or unstable cardiovascular disease.
