The Effects of Scapulohumeral Rehabilitation on Scapula Kinematics and Upper Extremity Functionality in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease
Sponsor: Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University
Summary
With this study, individuals diagnosed with PD in Burdur province in Turkey will be provided with a physiotherapy and rehabilitation program for the upper extremity, and it is thought that the treatment received by both groups will have a positive effect on the functionality of the individuals. According to the results of our study, it will be determined whether the scapula kinematics and upper extremity functionality of individuals diagnosed with PD are different from healthy individuals of the same age and gender. After the intervention programs applied to the individuals, it is thought that it will contribute to the physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs of individuals with PD by determining whether the scapulohumeral rehabilitation program is superior to the upper extremity neurorehabilitation program.

It is reported in the literature that scapulohumeral rehabilitation applied in primary shoulder pathologies is effective. In neurological diseases, a study was found in which scapulohumeral rehabilitation was applied to individuals diagnosed with stroke and reported that it was effective. However, when the literature was examined, no study was found in which scapulohumeral rehabilitation was applied to individuals diagnosed with PD. Therefore, our aim is to compare the effectiveness of the scapulohumeral rehabilitation program to be applied for shoulder dysfunction, which is thought to be one of the early findings in PD and is reported to be related to other main findings in PD, with the upper extremity neurorehabilitation program.
