Trunk Exercises and Mirror Therapy for Balance in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether specific exercises for your trunk (torso) combined with mirror therapy can help improve balance and posture in people with Parkinson's disease. These techniques may help you move more safely and reduce fall risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises to see which one better helps stroke survivors improve trunk control, balance, and daily activities. It may be a good fit if you had an ischemic stroke and are between 6 months and 1.5 years into recovery.
This study compares two types of physical therapy to help people regain trunk control and balance after a stroke. Participants will receive either PNF (a hands-on technique using rhythmic movements) or NDT (another hands-on technique focusing on movement patterns) to improve stability.
This trial tests if adding strategy training and PNF (a type of movement therapy) helps people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance, walking, and independence. You may be able to join if you are between 40 and 80 years old, can walk on your own or with a little help, and have mild to moderate symptoms.
This trial tests whether combining pelvic PNF (a therapy that uses specific patterns to improve movement) with trunk training can help people with chronic stroke walk better and improve balance.
This trial studies whether specific posture exercises can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and movement. It is designed for people who are in the early to moderate stages of the disease and do not have other major health issues.
This study tests whether training the muscles used for breathing and bending forward can improve posture in people with Parkinson's who have a forward stoop. It aims to see if this exercise program can help reduce trunk flexion and improve overall function.
