Neurofeedback and physical balance in Parkinson's patients.
The primary goal of the present research is to study the effect of a neurofeedback training ( NFT ) period on  balance problems associated with Parkinson 's disease . Sixteen patients were selected through purposive sampling and were r and omly divided into experimental and control groups . The research procedure included eight sessions . Prior to and after training , pre-tests and post-tests of static and dynamic balance were administered using " limit of stability " for the Biodex as well as the Berg scale . The results revealed that , after neurofeedback training , a statistically significant improvement in both static and dynamic balance in the experimental group was achieved . The means of the Biodex and Berg scores in the experimental group increased from 18.87 to 42.87 and 17.62 to 46.37 , respectively . The means of the Biodex and Berg scores in the control group in the pretest were 18.25 and 17.75 and increased to 20.00 and 20.50 , respectively . The results suggest that NFT can improve static and dynamic balance in PD patients
