Implication

Observational analysis showed LSVT BIG improved mobility and balance in patients with Parkinson’s disease, suggesting potential benefits over structured rehabilitation.

Key Points

In-hospital LSVT BIG training demonstrated high feasibility, achieving 95% recruitment rates and full adherence.
Both LSVT BIG and structured rehabilitation significantly improved balance and lower limb effort tolerance, with LSVT showing superior changes in upper limb effort and gait speed.
Statistical analysis confirmed LSVT BIG participants were 8.5 times more likely to exceed the minimal clinically important difference in balance.
Overall, while quality of life remained unchanged, the findings suggest LSVT BIG has a complementary role in traditional rehabilitation for Parkinson's disease.
