Effects of Sensory Integration Training on Balance and Confidence in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

The study design will be randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria will be identified by individual physiotherapist and will be enrolled for particular study. A sample size of 46 patients will be taken in this study by expecting a mean change 10.42 using 80% power of study and 95% level of significance and 20% dropout will also be included. So each group contains 23 participants. The study will be single blinded. The outcome assessor will be unaware of the treatment given to both groups. Sample will be collected through simple random sampling technique, and randomization sequencing will be generated with help of lottery. After selection the sample patients will be divided into two groups, allocation concealment will be ensured by using sealed envelopes. Group A will be given conventional balance training along with routine physical therapy without sensory integration and Group B will be given sensory integration physical therapy along with routine physical therapy. Group A will be called control group and Group B will be called experimental group. Every patient has to pick up an envelope which will be placed in patient's file which later will be opened by the researcher who will provide patient treatment accordingly.
