Yoga In Reduced Physical and Psychological Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease


People who participated in yoga class have a profound and positive impact in reduced symptoms of  Parkinson's disease, a renowned study suggested.

Yoga, the accident technique practice for harmonized external and internal body well being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement, and gesture..... has been well known for people in the Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

Parkinson's disease is a condition affected motor and nonmotor functions and causes severe debility and poor quality of life, a recent study suggested.

According to statistic, approximately one million are living with Parkinson's disease (PD) in the U.S.
Every year, over 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with PD.

And, if you are men, you are 1.5 time more likely to have Parkinson's disease in compared to women.

In the discussion with 28 experienced yoga experts, who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, selected validating the content of the integrated yoga module(IYM) for PD, researchers found that 21 out of 28 exhibited significant content validity by applying Lawshe's formula for the content validity ratio (CVR) of 0.42.

Additionally, in a randomized controlled pilot study investigated the effectiveness of yoga intervention on physiological and health-related QOL measures in people with PD with 13 people with stage 1-2 PD randomized to either a yoga (n = 8) or a control group (n = 5) and the yoga group participated in twice-weekly yoga sessions for 12 weeks, searchers found that yoga participants demonstrate a significant improvement in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)scores, improved diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.036) and average forced vital capacity (P = 0.03) over time, in compared to control.

Furthermore, researchers also indicated that the yoga group expressed positive trends of improvement in depression scores (P = 0.056), body weight (P = 0.056) and forced expiratory volume (P = 0.059).

More profoundly, Yoga participants reported more positive symptom changes including immediate tremor reduction in compared to the control group. Collectively, yoga significantly improves aspects of QOL and physiological functions in stages 1-2 PD patients.

Importantly, in support of the above differentiation, the California State University, in the measuring the effect of an eight-week adaptive yoga program on the physical and psychological status of individuals with Parkinson's disease pilot study suggested, after assessing the result of 10 participants with a Hoehn and Yahr stage of 2 or 3 prior to and after an 8-week control phase and again after they underwent an 8-week adaptive yoga program scientists suggested that yoga participants not only reduced expression of depression, anxiety in both gender, but also enhanced sit-and-reach flexibility in male participants in compared to female counterparts.

In younger participants, yoga showed an enormous improvement of Single-Leg Balance test(SLB) time after the intervention.

Indeed, in the compare the effects of power training (PWT) and a high-speed yoga program on physical performances in older patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), researchers indicated that both yoga program and PWT programs can significantly improve physical performance in older persons with PD.

In other words, Dr. Ni M, the led author said, "both training groups showed significant improvements (P<.05) in all physical measurements except functional reach on the more affected side, SLS, and postural sway compared with the pretests, and significantly better scores for UPDRSMS, BBS, Mini-BESTest, Timed Up and Go, functional reach on the less affected side".

Taking all together, yoga no doubt has a fabulous effect in improving both physical and psychological symptoms in the early stage of Parkinson's disease. Some researchers even suggested that yoga may be used as an integrated form of exercise conventionally with conventional therapy.
