Key Words : Research trend,Scoping review,Parkinson's disease,LSVT-BIG
Abstract
Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the main outcomes and research trends of LSVT-BIG intervention on patients with Parkinson's disease through the study of the scoping review. Methods : The main search databases Cochrane Library, NDSL, Pubmed, RISS and Science Direct were used. Documents published in academic journals were collected from 2005 to December 2021. The search terms "LSVT BIG" AND "Parkinson's disease" were used. The final 24 articles were selected. Results : There are 24 studies were included. LSVT-BIG intervention studies applied to patients with Parkinson's disease were continuously published from 2005 to 2021. In the disease progression stage of the study subjects, the subjects in the early to middle stage were the most. A lot of the case study and one-group pretest-posttest design were included. Only 6 studies consisted of randomized controlled trials. As for the method of intervention, the single intervention study was the most common with 17 studies. 4 studies comparing the effects of conventional rehabilitation treatment and LSVT-BIG intervention were included. 3 studies compared LSVT-BIG interventions with other interventions. In 4 studies, the existing protocol was modified and applied. Standard protocols were applied in 20 studies. In the effect of LSVT-BIG intervention, 24 studies provided a change in motor function. In 10 studies, psychosocial factors were identified. In addition, there were 3 studies confirming the ability to occupational performance and activities of daily living ability, and 2 studies were for cognitive function Conclusion : LSVT-BIG intervention has a positive effect on motor function, psychosocial factors, cognitive function, occupational performance, and ability to activities of daily living in patients with Parkinson's disease. In addition, a research design with a high level of evidence is needed in the future and research is needed for a variety of diseases.
