The Effects of Ballet-Based Exercise Training on Respiratory Functions, Balance, Cognitive Functions, Peripheral Muscle Strength, Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of an 8-week ballet-based dance therapy on individuals with Parkinson's disease. The intervention will target motor and non-motor symptoms, including functional capacity, balance, cognitive function, and quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will engage in structured ballet classes, while the control group will receive standard care. Assessments will include measures of respiratory function, body composition, muscle strength, and balance, with evaluations conducted before and after the intervention. The goal is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of ballet as a therapeutic approach to improve both physical and mental well-being in people with Parkinson's disease.
