Overview

Systematic review evaluates yoga's effectiveness compared to physiotherapy in improving stability and fall outcomes in older adults with Parkinsonism, indicating potential benefits.

Key Points

  • This review aims to compare the effectiveness of therapeutic yoga with physiotherapy-based training on fall-related outcomes in older adults with early-stage Parkinsonism.
  • Evaluating randomized controlled trials from 2015 to 2025 involving adults aged 60 or older with early-stage Parkinsonism.
  • Comparing structured therapeutic yoga integrating asana and pranayama with balance and PNF training.
  • Conducting meta-analysis using a random-effects model and grading evidence with GRADE.
  • Expected outcomes will detail the impact of yoga on postural stability and fall rates compared to physiotherapy interventions.
