Investigation of the relationship between trunk position sense and balance, functional mobility, fear of falling, and disease stage in Parkinson's disease.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionParameters related to trunk control such as balance disorders, mobility problems, and falling are frequently observed in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, to provide a stable foundation for movement, trunk stability requires appropriate adequate position sense. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between trunk position sense, balance, functional mobility, fear of falling, and disease stage in patients with PD.
methodsThe study was conducted in 41 patients with PD (16 female and 25 male). Trunk position sense was assessed with a digital inclinometer, balance with functional reach test, Berg balance scale and one-leg stand test, functional mobility with timed up and go test, fear of falling with activity-specific balance confidence scale, and disease stage with Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale (MHYS). All patients were tested during the "on" phase following drug therapy.
resultsRepositioning error degree was related with MHYS, Berg balance scale, right and left one-leg stand test, forward functional reach test, timed up and go test, timed up and go test-cognitive and activity-specific balance confidence scale results in patients with PD (r = - 0.363/ - 0.609, p < 0.05 for all).
conclusionIt was shown in the study that trunk position sense was associated with disease stage, balance level, functional mobility, and fear of falling in patients with PD. These results suggest that trunk position sense is more important to plan effective rehabilitation program for development and protection of disease stage, balance level, functional mobility, and fear of falling in patients with PD.
