Abstract

Nine subjects out of 10 were selected for study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The subjects were  explained about the purpose of the study and the informed consent was taken from the subjects and also from  the attendees. Baseline values of these subjects were assessed with berg balance scale and falls efficacy scale. The  subjects received strengthening exercises, balanceexercises for a period of 6 months for duration of 5days/week,  60 minutes each session. Outcome data Assessments were performed bythe berg balance scale and fall efficacy  scale were negatively correlated before and after treatment but the strength of negative correlation after treatment  was weak. The post–test values of all the subjects of berg balance scale and falls efficacy scale shows greater  improvement with p value <0.0001 considered extremely significant.Within group analysis revealed that there is a  significant improvement in balance (p value<0.0001) and reduction of fear of fall (p value < 0.0001) in subjects with  Parkinson’s disease after balance training. The correlation between the scores of Berg balance scale and fall efficacy  scale are strongly negative (-0.921) before treatment and after treatment also there is a negative correlation (-0.699)  but it is weak statistically.  Keywords: Berg balance scale; Fall efficacy scale; Strengthening exercises.
