Action Observation and Motor Imagery Therapy in Parkinson's Disease

The difference in the scores of the Berg Balance Scale between pre- and post-rehabilitation assessments,The difference in the scores of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) between pre- and post-rehabilitation assessments,The difference in the scores of the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) between pre- and post-rehabilitation assessments,The difference in the scores of the Five Times Sit to Stand Test between pre- and post-rehabilitation assessments

In recent years, motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) therapy strategies have been
 used in rehabilitation programs to increase motor learning in Parkinson's disease (PD).
 Visuomotor training strategies such as AO and MI therapy rely on the activity of the mirror
 neuron system to facilitate motor re-learning. Mirror neurons are activated during the
 performance of goal-directed actions, also when observing the same action and visualizing the
 action in the mind.
 
 The aim of this clinical trial is to test whether the application of AO and MI treatment in
 PD in addition to conventional rehabilitation programs has an additional effect on Balance,
 Functional Status and Quality of Life.
