Physical exercise may improve the motor symptoms and quality of life for patients with Parkinson's disease , new research shows.
A systematic review of 156 clinical trials involving 8000 patients with PD, showed dancing and aquatic exercise, in particular, were most likely to improve motor symptoms, while swimming, endurance training, and mind-body training were most likely to benefit quality of life ."For most types of exercise we studied, we observed positive effects on both the severity of motor signs and quality of life.
The investigators analyzed data from randomized, controlled trials comparing different types of exercise and no exercise and the subsequent effect on PD symptoms. Exercise included dance, strength-resistance training, mind-body training such ad tai chi and yoga, water-based training, resistance training, gait/balance/functional training, and endurance training.
The average age of study participants ranged from 60 to 74 years, and most of the studies included patients with mild to moderate PD. The mean length of the various interventions was 12 weeks.
