Detailed Description
This study will be conducted to compare the effects of Lee Silverman Voice Treatment BIG and conventional physiotherapy on dynamic balance in patients of PD. Patients will be recruited according to inclusion criteria and data will be collected from Riphah rehabilitation center, National Hospital Lahore. Dynamic gait index will be used as data collection tool to test dynamic balance of patients. Patients will be allocated to intervention groups by randomization. After approval from ethical committee, data collection will be started and informed consent will be taken from all patients.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Lee Silverman Voice Treatment big with conventional treatment Lee Silverman Voice Treatment big with conventional treatment |
Other: Lee Silverman Voice Treatment BIG
Patients assigned to experimental group will get Lee Silverman Voice Treatment BIG along with conventional treatment.
|
| Active Comparator: control group Patients assigned to control group received conventional treatment program encompassing set of exercises such as complex motor sequences, stretching, dual tasking, mental imagery and core stability. |
Other: conventional treatment
patients in this group will get conventional treatment program encompassing set of exercises such as complex motor sequences, stretching, dual tasking, mental imagery and core stability.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Dynamic Gait Index [9 months]
Dynamic gait index assesses postural stability, gait, and balance. It evaluates various gait- related tasks with challenging situations such as head turn, speed change, obstacles and stairs climbing.
