The evidence on the effectiveness of forced exercise on the symptoms of Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease is currently one of the brain disorders with the quickest rate of growth. Although understanding regarding this condition is increasing and advances can be seen in every discipline around it, no cure is presently available. The current focus is on giving the finest care possible and developing novel methods for enhancing the patient's quality of life and autonomy. Physiotherapy is a profession that uses a wide range of techniques to treat patients with various restrictions. In order to provide the greatest care, a physiotherapist's role is to modify their approach to the patient's needs and stay up to date on the most recent research. The use of therapeutic exercise is crucial in the field and has a variety of applications. An emerging method for managing Parkinson's disease is forced exercise. The objective of this thesis was to review the evidence on the effectiveness of forced exercise on Parkinson's disease symptoms. For this thesis, a narrative literature review was used. The objective was to gather evidence-based information about forced exercise and how it might be used to treat Parkinson's disease. To give a more comprehensive review and reduce the likelihood of bias, a more systematized approach was adopted. Following a review of the chosen article, the findings indicated that forced exercise has a positive impact on motor symptoms, while the findings are inconclusive or do not indicate any benefits for non-motor symptoms. In summary, forced exercise may be helpful for certain patients, especially those with motor symptoms, but it is still an individualized approach that may not produce the same outcomes with every patient
