This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two different exercises to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and posture. One group will do targeted trunk control exercises that challenge their balance in different ways, while another group will use mirror therapy—a technique where you watch the reflection of your unaffected side to help retrain movement in the affected side. Researchers want to see which approach works better for helping people stay steady and upright.
People with Parkinson's disease often struggle with balance and posture as the disease progresses, making everyday activities like walking and standing difficult. Current treatments don't always fully address these balance problems, so researchers are exploring whether these specific exercises might offer a new way to help patients regain stability and confidence in their movements.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either the trunk control exercise group or the mirror therapy group. The trunk control group will do ten specific balance exercises per session that gradually get harder as you improve, including activities like walking while bouncing a ball and balancing on foam surfaces with help from a therapist. The mirror therapy group will position your affected limb in specific poses and watch its reflection to help retrain movement. Both groups will work with medical staff who will give you instructions and hands-on help as needed. The study involves 36 patients total, with 18 in each group.
