Abstract:
Parkinson's disease affects around 6 million people worldwide. It causes both motor and non-motor symptoms. Since there is no cure, medical treatment aims to improve patients' quality of life. Combined with drug treatment, neurorehabilitation plays a major role in this field, thanks to its multidisciplinary approach. Practices such as physical therapy, Tai Chi, dance, and music therapy have shown positive results throughout the course of the disease. In addition, innovations such as augmented reality or specific treadmill training have interesting potential. However, further research is needed to refine therapeutic strategies and optimize the effectiveness of treatments.
