Lower limb progressive resistance training improves leg strength but not gait speed or balance in Parkinson's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Lower limb progressive resistance training improves leg strength but not gait speed or balance in Parkinson's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

The use of progressive resistance training (PRT) to improve gait and balance in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an emerging area of interest. However, the main effects of PRT on lower limb function such as gait, balance and leg strength in people with PD remain unclear. Therefore the aim of...
