Research Progress on the Treatment of Motor and Non - motor Functions of Parkinson's Disease by Health Qigong
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, and drug treatment has limitations. This study reviews the effects of various health qigong on the motor and non - motor functions of PD. It is found that Baduanjin can improve balance, walking ability, relieve negative emotions, enhance the quality of life, and also has effects on cognition and sleep. Wuqinxi is beneficial for the recovery of balance and walking functions, can improve cognition and the quality of life, but research on immunity and sleep is insufficient. Health qigong exercises can effectively improve motor functions, relieve anxiety, improve mood and cognition, and reduce non - motor symptoms. Liuzijue and Yijinjing can enhance balance and walking abilities and improve symptoms such as sleep and fatigue. However, many existing studies have problems such as small sample sizes and unclear mechanisms. In the future, large - sample, multi - center studies should be carried out, mechanisms should be explored in depth, the best intervention plan should be determined, research indicators should be expanded, and clinical application should be promoted.
