Summary
This study compares two non-drug therapies—trunk control exercises and mirror therapy—to see which better improves balance and posture in people with Parkinson's disease. Thirty-six participants aged 50 to 70 with mild to moderate Parkinson's will be enrolled. The goal is to find a simple, effective way to reduce fall risk and improve movement.
