Abstract:
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of prioritization of instruction in balance training for individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Thirty-six participants were evaluated before and after the training using the Berg Balance Scale, Dynamic Gait Index, and Geriatric Depression Scale. Results show that dual task training with variable priority instruction is as effective as single task training in improving the balance performance of individuals with idiopathic PD.
