Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6
- Individuals with a clinical diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (Hoehn \& Yahr stages 1-2)
- Individuals aged 50-70 years
- Mini Mental State Test score ≥ 24

Interventions
Conventional physiotherapy will be applied for 6 weeks, with 3 sessions per week, each session lasting approximately 40-50 minutes. Participants will be given stretching and flexibility exercises (trunk, shoulder and lower extremity muscle groups) in each session, with 10 repetitions x 15 seconds. Balance exercises (3 repetitions for 30-45 seconds in static and dynamic balance positions), walking exercises on a flat surface, and strengthening exercises (2-3 sets, 10-12 repetitions with resistance band or dumbbells) will be performed.
This group will receive conventional physical therapy and functional rotation exercises for 6 weeks, with 3 sessions per week, each session lasting approximately 40-50 minutes.
