Abstract

The importance of early physiotherapeutic rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease. The objective of this topic is to slow down Parkinson's disease, preventing the physical problems, by means of advanced physiotherapeutic rehabilitation in combination with drug therapy. The study was conducted during the period January-December 2022, in the city of Durres. There are a total of 15 patients in the age group of 41-70 years old and suffering from Parkinson's Disease. They underwent simple physiotherapeutic rehabilitation and were also treated with medications. Data were analyzed, and conclusions were drawn through the SPSS program. Out of 15 patients included in the study, we found that the most affected age group is 61-70 years old. There is a predominance of this age with 11 cases (73%) compared to the 51-60 age group with 3 cases (20%), and with the fewest cases, we have the 41-50 age group with 1 case (7%). The age group of 41-50 years has the easiest stage 1 and occupies 17% of cases; the age group of 51-60 years has a slightly more severe stage 2 and occupies 33%, while the age group of 61-70 years old still more severe belongs to stage 3 and accounts for 50% of cases. Our country urgently needs to establish standardized rehabilitation protocol. It helps reducing the disability and slowing down from 1 to 5 since in this paper, we proved that with early physiotherapeutic rehabilitation, we had good results for stages 1-2-3 of the disease‎.
