Objective: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder causing bradykinesia, rigidity, tremors, and balance issues. It affects walking, balance, and daily tasks. Physical therapy helps improve gait, balance, and ADLs. The study's objective is to examine the effectiveness of Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT-BIG) and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) in improving balance, gait, and ADLs in Parkinson’s patients.

Method: A comparative study was done, with information collected before and after the treatment, comparing the effectiveness of both Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT-BIG) and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) on patients with Parkinsonism.

Result: Comparative analysis revealed that PNF was more effective in improving gait and balance and LSVT-BIG demonstrated greater efficacy in enhancing ADLs.

Conclusion: Thus, this study concluded that LSVT-BIG is particularly beneficial for improving ADLs, whereas PNF is more effective for gait and balance, indicating that tailored therapeutic interventions can optimize outcomes for individuals with PD.
