To evaluate the role of Nordic walking (NW) in gait rehabilitation in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Methods: Forty PD patients were recruited and randomly assigned to the NW group or control group with 20 patients in each. Both groups maintained the course of medication initiated before recruitment. The NW group additionally received rehabilitation training while the control group did not. Rehabilitation of the NW group consisted of NW exercise for 1 hour per session 2 times per week for a duration of 3 months. Gait parameters, including step length, arm swing angle, and body forward tilt angle, were recorded before and after 3 months of treatment, and the results of the 2 groups were compared. Results: Before treatment, the 2 groups showed no significant difference in step length, arm swing angle, and body forward tilt angle (P>0.05). After treatment, the control group showed no significant change in the above three parameters compared to before treatment (P>0.05). In the NW group, the step length, arm swing angle, and body forward tilt angle were significantly greater after treatment than before (all P<0.05), and there was significant improvement in gait. Conclu? sion: NW rehabilitation training is an effective method for improving gait in PD patients.
