Parkinsonova bolest je kompleksna neurodegenerativna bolest koja ima veliki utjecaj na pacijenta i njegovu obitelj. Uz farmakološku terapiju, nužno je primijeniti i nefarmakološki pristup, gdje se najučinkovitijom pokazala fizioterapija. Fizioterapija Parkinsonove bolesti je usmjerena na poboljšanje posture, hoda i ravnoteže pacijenta. Cilj fizioterapije je otklanjanje motoričkih problema koji uključuju tremor, bradikineziju i rigiditet bolesnika, a to postižemo treningom snage, aerobik treningom, hidroterapijom, plesom ili treningom kognicije. Cilj rada je prikazati fizioterapijske metode liječenja Parkinsonove bolesti i njihovu učinkovitost.

Parkinson's disease is a complex neurodegenerative disease that has a major impact on the patient and his family. In addition to pharmacological therapy, it is necessary to apply a non-pharmacological approach, where physiotherapy is most effective. Physiotherapy of Parkinson's disease is focused on improving the patient's posture, gait and balance. The goal of physiotherapy is to eliminate motor problems that involve tremor, bradykinesia and rigidity of patients, and this is done by strength training, aerobics training, hydrotherapy, dancing or cognitive training. The goal of this thesis is to present physiotherapeutic methods of managing the Parkinsons disease and their efficiency.
