Title of Journal: Balance versus resistance training on postural control in patients with
Parkinson’s disease: a randomized controlled trial
PICO ANALYSIS
Category Description
Introduction The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of
balance training with directional exercises for postural control
and resistance muscular training on postural control measures in
individuals with PD. The researchers hypothesized that
compared to resistance training, balance approach by motor
control principles would relate better with balance results.
