Brief Summary

The trunk, which plays an integral role in postural stabilization, controls extremity movements by providing dynamic stabilization during performance. Trunk stability is thought to be a prerequisite for upper extremity functions and it is assumed that trunk control has an effect on hand functions. There is thought to be a strong relationship between postural control and fine motor functions. There are very few studies in the literature examining the effect of trunk control on hand functions in Parkinson's patients. Based on this, the aim of this study is; To investigate the relationship between trunk control and hand functions.

• Hypotheses of the study;
• Ho: There is no relationship between Trunk Control and hand functions in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
• H1: There is a relationship between Trunk Control and hand functions in individuals with Parkinson's disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

• Nine Hole Peg Test (9DPT)

  Nine Hole Peg Test (9DPT): It is a valid and reliable skill test frequently used to evaluate upper extremity function.

  1 weeks

• Hand Grip Strength Measurement

  Hand Grip Strength Measurement: It is recommended by the American Association of Hand Therapists (AETD) for measuring hand grip strength and has been found to have high validity and reliability in many studies and is therefore considered the gold standard.

  1 weeks

• Hoehn and Yahr Scale (HYS)

  Hoehn and Yahr Scale (HYS):t is a staging system developed by Hoehn and Yahr that provides information in a short time in determining the degree and symptoms of the disease in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The scale value is between 1-5

  1 weeks

• Mini Mental Test (MMT)

  Mini Mental Test (MMT):The test was produced as a cognitive assessment tool that takes a short time to apply in the examination of the elderly, especially the elderly with delirium and/or dementia, since the tests used to quantitatively evaluate cognitive performance within standard neuropsychiatric examination methods contain too many questions and take more than 30 minutes to apply.

  1 weeks

• Quick-DASH

  Quick-DASH:It is an evaluation questionnaire that measures activity and participation limitations in all upper extremity disorders. In the survey, patients' difficulties during daily living activities are questioned with 11 questions. Each question has 5 answer options according to difficulty level. If the patient can do the activity without difficulty, he/she marks 1, if he/she has mild difficulty, 2, if he/she has moderate difficulty, 3, if he/she has extreme difficulty, 4, and if he/she cannot do it at all, he/she marks option 5.

  1 weeks

• Duruöz Hand Index

  Duruöz Hand Index:It consists of 18 questions filled out by patients to evaluate hand disability. This scale includes questions divided into 5 categories: kitchen chores, dressing, personal hygiene, workplace and other activities. Answers are scored as: I don't have difficulty (=0), I have little difficulty (=1), I have some difficulty (=2), I have great difficulty (=3), it is almost impossible to do it (=4), I definitely cannot do it (=5). The total score consists of the sum of all scores. (0-90). High scores indicate impaired hand functions

  1 weeks

• Trunk Impairment Scale

  Trunk Impairment Scale:This scale consists of three subscales; static-dynamic sitting balance and trunk coordination. GDS value varies between 0-23 and a high score indicates good trunk control.

  1 weeks

Interventions

Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer COMBINATION_PRODUCT

This device measures hand grip strength. The individual should be in an upright sitting position. There should be no arm support on the sitting surface. ... The knee angle should be 90 degrees. Elbow angle should be 90 degrees. The wrist should be held without deviation. The measurement should be performed 3 times with an interval of 10 seconds.
