Abstract
Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases of the central nervous system with a chronic progressive course. The disease pathogenesis is characterized by degradation of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra, subsequently affecting other neurotransmitter systems of the brain. Clinical manifestations include impaired walking function and other motor and non-motor symptoms, a gradual deterioration in the quality of life and disability of patients. To date, there is no pathogenetic pharmacological therapy or surgical treatment that could have fully compensated for motor deficits and non-motor functions. This category of patients needs comprehensive rehabilitation using physical therapy. Effective modern methods of physical rehabilitation for Parkinson’s disease are walking on an anti-gravity treadmill, pole walking, and tai-chi gymnastics. Physical rehabilitation is an effective and promising direction in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with Parkinson’s disease, since it contributes to the improvement of motor and non-motor manifestations of the disease.
