Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Unified Parkinson's disease Rating Scale Part II
This is a subjective instrument that is widely used in clinical settings for patients with Parkinson's disease. This scale comprises 31 elements, which are divided into three sub-scales: Sub-scale II comprises the evaluation of activities in daily living. A possible maximum of 199 points can be scored on this scale. A score of 199 refers to complete disability and 0 refers to the absence of disability .
3 months
Unified Parkinson's disease Rating Scale Part III
This is a subjective instrument that is widely used in clinical settings for patients with Parkinson's disease. This scale comprises 31 elements, which are divided into three sub-scales and sub-scale III evaluates the motor system. A possible maximum of 199 points can be scored on this scale. A score of 199 refers to complete disability and 0 refers to the absence of disability
3 months
Berg Balance Scale (BBS)
The scale has been established as the most widely used assessment tool in clinical settings to identify changes in balance performance. A score of less than 45 is considered a limit for the risk of falling, while a score of 56 relates to functional balance

Study Arms (3)
Virtual Reality with Routine Physical Therapy
EXPERIMENTALThe duration of the VR will be from 10 to 15 minutes during each session and Routine Physical Therapy for 40 minutes which consists of warming-up, stretching, strengthening and active exercises for relaxation, coordination exercises for limbs, trunk, neck, and gait training)
Motor imagery technique with Routine Physical Therapy
EXPERIMENTALMotor Imagery techniques will be given for 5 to 10 minutes along with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes which consists of warming-up, stretching, strengthening and active exercises for relaxation, coordination exercises for limbs, trunk, neck, and gait training)
Routine Physical Therapy
EXPERIMENTALOnly routine physical therapy will be given (including warming-up, stretching, strengthening and active exercises for relaxation, coordination exercises for limbs, trunk, neck, and gait training)
Interventions
VR group will be treated with virtual reality for 15 to 20 minutes along with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes session 3 days/week for 12 weeks
MI group will be treated with virtual reality for 15 to 20 minutes along with routine physical therapy for 40 minutes session 3 days/week for 12 weeks
Group A will be given routine physical therapy in 40-min sessions and 20 min of walking and cycling with a short period of rest, every alternate day (3 days per week) for 12 weeks
