Özet
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of muscle control, stiffness, slowness, and impaired balance. In the later stages, posture disorders can be seen. In this study we aimed to present the successful results of rehabilitation therapy in three patients with Parkinson's disease and camptocormia. A patient-centered rehabilitation program was started. We aimed to improve functional capacity, balance, coordination and postural control. Home exercise programs were prepared to enhance patients' daily living activities. After a six-week rehabilitation program, significant improvement was observed on the Schwab-England Activities of Daily Living Scale and patients could walk on flat ground while maintaining erect posture for at least 50 meters with one-side support. On the second month of follow-up, the clinical improvement continued. These cases showed that effective exercise therapy and patient education may improve the quality of life and functionality in Parkinson's disease and therefore rehabilitation should be part of treatment at all stages of the disease.
