The Effects of Scapulohumeral Rehabilitation on Scapula Kinematics and Upper Extremity Functionality in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease

It is reported in the literature that scapulohumeral rehabilitation applied in primary shoulder pathologies is effective. In neurological diseases, a study was found in which scapulohumeral rehabilitation was applied to individuals diagnosed with stroke and reported that it was effective. However, when the literature was examined, no study was found in which scapulohumeral rehabilitation was applied to individuals diagnosed with PD. Therefore, our aim is to compare the effectiveness of the scapulohumeral rehabilitation program to be applied for shoulder dysfunction, which is thought to be one of the early findings in PD and is reported to be related to other main findings in PD, with the upper extremity neurorehabilitation program.
