![]() Group A (experimental group) and Group B (control group) were evaluated on The Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale and 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire for baseline reading. With five dropouts, the study sample was 24. Twenty-nine individuals who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited for the study. Methods: In this prospective, comparative, and randomized control study, conducted for 18 months, both males and females were recruited aged between 50 and 75 years diagnosed as a case of idiopathic PD in Stage 1-3 Modified Hoehn and Yahr Stage, with mini-mental state examination score >24 without secondary parkinsonism and any orthopedic conditions. Study Design: This is a prospective, comparative, and randomized control study. Objectives: To study the effectiveness of BG exercises as an adjunct to occupational therapy on activities of daily living (ADL) and motor aspects of patients with PD and its reflection on their QOL. ![]() Brain Gym (BG) which is a newer concept has also shown an improvement in the balance, posture, and handwriting, but there is a scarcity of literature which shows the combined effect of both the functional proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation patterns and the BG exercises. Researches have shown that quality of life (QOL) regresses with the progression of the disease with PD. Abstract: Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, exceeded only by Alzheimer's disease.
