Abstrakt: Background: Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive and neurodegenerative disorder. A range of motor and non-motor symptoms may cause postural instability and impaired functional mobility often leading to falls and decrease quality of life. Physical therapy with Music therapy may be promising intervention to improve gait and related activities in Parkinson's disease. Methodology: Permission was taken from institutional ethical committee. An experimental study was conducted on 30 individual selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Randomized allocation of the participants was done into experimental (Physical therapy with music therapy) and control (Conventional physical therapy) groups. Participants were evaluated pre and post intervention for gait using Dynamic gait index (DGI), balance using Time up and go (TUG) and quality of Life using Parkinson's disease quality of life 39 (PDQ 39) questionnaire. A six weeks intervention program was given to the patients for four times per week. Result: Data was analyzed using Shapiro-wilk test accordingly parametric or non- parametric test were performed. Between groups comparisons showed extremely significant (p<0.001) improvement on DGI (4±1.363), TUG test (2±0.92) and PDQ 39 questionnaire (45.07±10.62) in experimental group as compare to DGI (2.33±1.496), TUG test (0.933±0.70) and PDQ 39 questionnaire (42.53±10.56) in control group. Conclusion: The study concluded that physical therapy with Music therapy is effective in improving gait, balance and quality of Life in patients with Parkinson's disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
