Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of Baduanjin and balancer exercise on motor and non-motor symptoms for patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods:From May, 2017 to September, 2018, 31 patients with PD were collected from the inpatients, outpatients and outside of our hospitals. The patients accepted Baduanjin and balancer exercise successively, three weeks for each exercise, and were assessed with Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) part I, II, III and IV, and Non-motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) before and after each exercise. Results:Four cases dropped out during Baduanjin exercise. The total score, the scores of part I, II and III of MDS-UPDRS, and NMSS score (t > 3.274, P < 0.01) decreased significantly after Baduanjin exercise. Other three cases dropped out during balancer exercise. The total score and the score of part III of MDS-UPDRS decreased significantly after balancer exercise (t > 2.763, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Baduanjin exercise can improve the motor and non-motor symptoms of mild to moderate PD, but not significant for motor complications; while balancer exercise can improve the motor symptoms, but not significant for non-motor symptoms and motor complications.
