Brief Summary:
Parkinsons Disease PD is the second most common neurodegenerative disease affecting 2-3 of the population aged 65 and over characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons The basal ganglia play a significant role in the pathogenesis of PD The lesions of the basal ganglia impair the ability of patients to perform complex goal-oriented and skill-requiring movements Consequently motor symptoms such as bradykinesia rigidity hypokinesia and tremor which are progressively worse are added to the clinical picture of the disease
These symptoms which cause movement and activity limitations in individuals with PD also affect upper extremity functions balance and functional mobility Impairment of upper extremity functions commonly seen from the early stages of the disease can affect many basic activities of daily living including buttoning clothes tying shoelaces sewing writing eating and using various modern devices Balance and mobility disorders are among the most debilitating features of the disease as they lead to the deterioration of physical functions in PD Balance and mobility issues in PD are identified as key determinants of the increasing fear of falling and the resulting decline in quality of life Various factors such as rigidity bradykinesia impaired postural adjustments and decreased sensory integration contribute to the negative impact on balance and mobility in individuals with PD
Proper balance and mobility performance are achieved through synergistic control during both dynamic and static postures between proximal body segments such as the trunk spine and pelvis This contributes to the mobility of distal segments and the functionality of the upper extremities Additionally the contribution of upper extremity functions to balance and mobility has been demonstrated in healthy populations Current literature also reveals that treatment programs targeting the upper extremities can improve mobility and balance especially in neurological patient populations
In conclusion balance and mobility disorders in Parkinsons disease can reduce proximal stability and affect hand dexterity This study aims to examine the relationship between hand dexterity balance and functional mobility in individuals with PD

Detailed Description:
According to the sample size calculation at least 26 diagnosed PD will be included Participants demographic characteristics will be taken initially and the stage will be recorded according to the Hoehn and Yahr Scale Then upper extremity functions balance and functional mobility will be evaluated
