Description
The purpose of this study is to highlight the use of power training in a patient with low back pain and Parkinson’s disease.
Power training demonstrated a more significant change in gait speed, mobility, and function compared to other phases in rehabilitation. After power training was implemented at visit 11, there was a dramatic increase gait speed with the 10-meter walk test, a reduction in Oswestry Disability Index score (ODI), and a decrease in Timed Up and Go (TUG) time. The increase in 10 MWT gait speed and reduction in ODI and TUG score were greater than their MDC values of 0.18m/s, 4.8 points, and 3.5 seconds, respectively.6,7,8
