However, the main effects of PRT on lower limb functions such as gait, balance, and leg strength in people with PD remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of the meta-analysis is to evaluate the evidence surrounding the use of PRT to improve gait and balance in people with PD. Five electronic databases, from inception to December 2014, were searched to identify the relevant studies. Data extraction was performed by two independent reviewers and methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale. Standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of fixed and random effects models were used to calculate the effect sizes between experimental and control groups and <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup> statistics were used to determine levels of heterogeneity. In total, seven studies were identified consisting of 172 participants (experimental <italic>n</italic> = 84; control <italic>n</italic> = 88). The pooled results showed a moderate but significant effect of PRT on leg strength (SMD 1.42, 95% CI 0.464–2.376); however, no significant effects were observed for gait speed (SMD 0.418, 95% CI −0.219 to 1.055). No significant effects were observed for balance measures included in this review. In conclusion, our results showed no discernable effect of PRT on gait and balance measures, although this is likely due to the lack of studies available. It may be suggested that PRT be performed in conjunction with balance or task-specific functional training to elicit greater lower limb functional benefits in people with PD.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Allen, N E" uniqKey="Allen N">N.

However, the main effects of PRT on lower limb functions such as gait, balance, and leg strength in people with PD remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of the meta-analysis is to evaluate the evidence surrounding the use of PRT to improve gait and balance in people with PD. Five electronic databases, from inception to December 2014, were searched to identify the relevant studies. Data extraction was performed by two independent reviewers and methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale. Standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of fixed and random effects models were used to calculate the effect sizes between experimental and control groups and <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup> statistics were used to determine levels of heterogeneity. In total, seven studies were identified consisting of 172 participants (experimental <italic>n</italic> = 84; control <italic>n</italic> = 88). The pooled results showed a moderate but significant effect of PRT on leg strength (SMD 1.42, 95% CI 0.464–2.376); however, no significant effects were observed for gait speed (SMD 0.418, 95% CI −0.219 to 1.055). No significant effects were observed for balance measures included in this review. In conclusion, our results showed no discernable effect of PRT on gait and balance measures, although this is likely due to the lack of studies available. It may be suggested that PRT be performed in conjunction with balance or task-specific functional training to elicit greater lower limb functional benefits in people with PD.</p></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>Parkinson’s disease</kwd><kwd>progressive resistance training</kwd><kwd>leg strength</kwd><kwd>gait speed</kwd><kwd>balance</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source id="cn001">Central Research Grant Scheme</funding-source><award-id rid="cn001">RM29471</award-id></award-group><award-group><funding-source id="cn002">School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, Deakin University</funding-source></award-group><award-group><funding-source id="cn003">Alfred Deakin Postdoctoral Fellowship</funding-source></award-group><award-group><funding-source id="cn004">NHMRC Career Development Fellowship</funding-source></award-group></funding-group><counts><fig-count count="3"></fig-count><table-count count="3"></table-count><equation-count count="0"></equation-count><ref-count count="40"></ref-count><page-count count="10"></page-count><word-count count="5931"></word-count></counts></article-meta></front><body><sec sec-type="introduction" id="S1"><title>Introduction</title><p>Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder, which stems primarily from the death of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the basal ganglia circuitry, and is characterized by motor abnormalities such as resting tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability (Hornykiewicz and Kish, <xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">1987</xref>; Yoritaka et al., <xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>). In addition to motor deficits, people with PD often experience non-motor impairments such as cognitive, neuropsychiatric, sleep, autonomic and sensory disturbances that results in a reduced quality-of-life (Chaudhuri et al., <xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>; Park and Stacy, <xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>). It has been estimated that approximately 7 million people suffer from PD worldwide and these figures are expected to increase as the average age of the population increases (Kasten et al., <xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>).</p><p>Due to the neurological impairments associated with PD, coupled with age-related musculoskeletal declines, people diagnosed with PD are at greatest risk of falls with several studies reporting 38–87% of all people with PD experiencing severe falls at least once in their lifetime (Ashburn et al., <xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2001</xref>; Balash et al., <xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>). A meta-analysis of several prospective studies further showed that the rate of recurrent falling over a 3-month period was 57% among people with PD who had reported previous falls (Pickering et al., <xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>). Given the severity and chronic nature of PD, DA medications are often initiated during the early stages of the disease and continue to be prescribed throughout their lives (Stowe et al., <xref rid="B37" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>; Grosset et al., <xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>). However, it is estimated that the annual medical cost associated with PD is between $10,043 and $12,491 (Noyes et al., <xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>; Boland and Stacy, <xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>) and the long-term use of DA medication is not without side-effects, which may include addiction, behavioral disturbances (Merims and Giladi, <xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>), and levodopa-induced dyskinesia (Bezard et al., <xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">2001</xref>). More importantly, studies have shown that the underlying mechanisms of postural instability and gait difficulties in PD are dopamine-resistant (Bloem et al., <xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">1996</xref>; Bohnen and Cham, <xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>), which may explain the greater fall rate in people with PD (Johnson et al., <xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>).</p><p>In recent years, the use of exercise to improve motor symptoms in PD has received great interest. Several meta-analyses investigating the effects of aerobic exercise interventions such as treadmill walking reported significant improvements to gait, balance, and cardiovascular fitness in people with moderate-to-severe PD (Goodwin et al., <xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>; Shu et al., <xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>). In particular, several studies have also reported beneficial effects on motor function, muscle strength, and endurance following progressive resistance training (PRT) (Brienesse and Emerson, <xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>; Lima et al., <xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>). Recently, Corcos et al. (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>) conducted a large randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of a 24-month whole-body PRT intervention in 38 PD participants and showed a clinically significant improvement in off-medication unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale (UPDRS) scores. Although it is unclear as to what mechanisms underpin the improvements in motor symptoms following PRT, several studies suggest that PRT may help to improve muscle strength and mass (Hirsch et al., <xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>; Dibble et al., <xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>), and normalize neuroplasticity that may otherwise be impaired in people with PD (Teo et al., <xref rid="B38" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>).</p><p>Despite the evidence supporting the use of PRT to improve clinical measures of motor function, little is known about the effects of PRT on gait and balance measures in people with PD. Several meta-analyses conducted on the effects of PRT on gait and balance measures in healthy aging population showed inconsistent findings due to the wide disparity in the type of measures used (Latham et al., <xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>; Orr et al., <xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>; Steib et al., <xref rid="B36" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>). However, preliminary studies in people with mild-to-moderate PD found that high-intensity eccentric lower limb resistance training on a cycle ergometer resulted in increased muscle size in the quadriceps muscle, which correlated to improvements in lower limb muscle force and measures of mobility (Dibble et al., <xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>). However, it is unclear if PRT alone is able to elicit improvements to balance and gait in people with PD. To the best of our knowledge, only one other meta-analysis conducted by Lima et al. (<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>) indicated that PRT is beneficial for improving leg strength and physical function in people with PD that is not limited to just gait and balance. Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to evaluate the current literature for evidence to support the functional benefits of PRT on gait and balance in people with PD and to identify critical gaps in the literature that needs to be addressed in future research.</p></sec><sec sec-type="methods" id="S2"><title>Methods</title><sec id="S2-1"><title>Search strategy</title><p>This review has been informed by the PRISMA statement (Moher et al., <xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>).

For crossover studies, only the results from the first phase of the study were used to prevent any biased implications when interpreting the results.

Any discrepancies found were resolved by discussion and care was taken to identify duplicate reports of any articles found. Only published articles that include articles <italic>in press</italic> were included in the meta-analysis. The methodological quality of each study was assessed independently by two reviewers (Dawson J. Kidgell and Timo Rantalainen) separate from the data extraction phase using the physiotherapy evidence database (PEDro) scale (ranging from 0–10 points). The PEDro scale is an assessment tool for evaluating methodological quality of randomized control trials conducted in the field of physiotherapy and has been previously shown to have fair-to-good reliability (Maher et al., <xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>; Macedo et al., <xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>). A cut-off point of 6 on the PEDro scale was used to indicate high-quality studies (Macedo et al., <xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>). Any disagreements in scores were resolved by discussion between reviewers, with the judgment of the primary author (Wei-Peng Teo) being sought if necessary.

Our main findings showed non-statistically significant improvements in gait speed and balance measures that are concomitant with a moderate but significant increase in leg strength following an average of 16 weeks of PRT. Based on these findings, we were not able to conclusively determine if PRT was indeed beneficial for improving gait and balance in people with PD.</p><p>From our systematic review, we have determined that all studies reported were of sound methodology (average PEDro score = 5) which suggests that our findings were credible. However, only one study (Allen et al., <xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>) used intention-to-treat analysis, blinded assessors, and had concealed participant allocation while the rest did not. In addition, both participants and therapists from all seven studies were not blinded to the grouping in which participants were allocated to. This presents as a major limitation in the methodology of the current studies; however, it may also be difficult, particularly in non-pharmacological interventions, to blind both participants and therapists of the grouping in which the participants will receive.</p><p>Results from our meta-analysis showed that PRT significantly increased leg strength in people with mild-to-moderate severe PD following PRT lasting from 8 to 24 weeks. The increase in leg strength was expected and is consistent with the results from a recent meta-analysis conducted by Lima et al. (<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>). Despite the large variation in training protocols used for PRT between studies (duration: 8–24 weeks; frequency: 2–3sessions/week on non-consecutive days), the intensity for each PRT intervention was approximately 60–80% of one repetition maximum for each exercise (Hirsch et al., <xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>; Schilling et al., <xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>; Hass et al., <xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>) or between 13 and 15 points on the rating-of-perceived exertion scale (Dibble et al., <xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>; Allen et al., <xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>). Such training intensities are appropriate for strength adaptations even in healthy older adults (>65 years) (Harris et al., <xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>; Debeliso et al., <xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>) and are likely to support muscle morphology changes. Indeed, Dibble et al. (<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>) showed a significant increase in muscle volume in people with mild-to-moderate PD that was correlated with an increase in muscle strength following 12 weeks of high-force eccentric training.</p><p>Apart from neuromuscular strength, gait speed and balance are two other important lower limb functions that are often compromised in people with PD. Significant improvements in clinical and functional measures of gait following aerobic exercise, particularly with treadmill walking, were demonstrated in a recent meta-analysis by Shu et al. (<xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>). It is therefore reasonable to suggest that lower limb PRT may confer similar benefits considering the ability for PRT to improve leg strength. Interestingly, our results did not provide evidence for or against the effects of PRT in improving overall gait speed measured by various walking tests, such as the 6min and 10 m walk tests (Dibble et al., <xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>; Shulman et al., <xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>), short physical performance battery (Allen et al., <xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>), or by 3-dimensional motion analysis (Hass et al., <xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>). It is apparent that despite an increase in leg strength following PRT, overall gait speed was not significantly improved. The results from our meta-analysis were similar to those found in healthy aging participants showing little effects of PRT on gait speed and balance (Orr et al., <xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>; Steib et al., <xref rid="B36" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>). Similarly, our findings could not conclusively determine if indeed balance was improved by PRT. Only three studies directly or indirectly measured indices of balance. Allen et al. (<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>) directly measured balance using static posturography (sway distance on stable and unstable platforms) and found no appreciable difference between the experimental and control group. Similarly, Schilling et al. (<xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>) reported no difference in the activity-based balanced scale between experimental and control groups. Only Hirsch et al. (<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>) demonstrated a significant effect of PRT on balance using the EquiTest Balance System, which comprises a battery of computerized dynamic posturography measures. The lack of balance measures reported in PRT intervention studies limits our analysis and we suggest a cautious approach is taken when evaluating this data as our findings may not accurately reflect the efficacy of PRT on measures of balance.</p><p>In light of our findings, several possible reasons could explain why our meta-analysis did not show any significant improvements in gait speed and balance. The first, and most likely, reason would be that four out of seven studies reviewed used active controls that performed low-intensity balance and treadmill-walking exercises (Hirsch et al., <xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>; Dibble et al., <xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>; Shulman et al., <xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>). It should be noted that in the four studies that used an active control group, significant improvements between pre and post measures of balance and gait speed were also observed in the PRT intervention groups. Secondly, gait speed is only one of many measures of gait for which PRT may not specifically improve. It may be argued that PRT could have resulted in significant improvements in other gait measures such as gait variability, initiation velocity, stride length, and frequency. Indeed, results from Hass et al. (<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>) did show a significant improvement in initial stride velocity following 10 weeks of PRT in mild-to-moderate PD participants. Thirdly, it may also be argued that the PRT intervention did not include task-specific exercises. In our review, three studies use muscle-isolation (i.e., focusing on one muscle), open kinetic chain exercises such as leg presses, hamstring curls, leg extensions, and calf raises (Buckley et al., <xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>; Schilling et al., <xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>; Shulman et al., <xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>), while two studies used an eccentric resistance training paradigm on a cycle ergometer (Dibble et al., <xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>) and only one study included functional, closed kinetic chain exercises (i.e., squats, stepping up and down, and heel raises) (Allen et al., <xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>). It is possible that the non-specific nature of the PRT exercises did not directly train gait-like movement patterns, which limited the potential for gait improvements using outcome measures identified. It may also be possible that the outcome measures used in the studies were not sensitive enough to detect changes in gait and balance that are associated with PRT. Lastly, it could be that the small number of studies involved in this meta-analysis and underpowered studies used were not enough to detect a significant difference between groups (Turner et al., <xref rid="B39" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>).</p><p>In conclusion, our meta-analysis examining the effect of PRT on measures of gait and balance in people with PD found inconclusive evidence to support or refute the use of PRT. Based on our findings and the understanding of the influence of task-specific functional training and balance training for people with PD, it is suggested that PRT should be used in conjunction with balance and task-specific functional training to further improve measures of gait and balance. Finally, our systematic review revealed a dearth of information regarding direct measures of balance and gait, which should be included in future PRT intervention studies.</p></sec><sec id="S5"><title>Conflict of Interest Statement</title><p>The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.</p></sec></body><back><ack><p>All authors are acknowledged for their contributions to this study. <italic>Funding source</italic>: This study was supported by the Central Research Grant Scheme (RM29471) and the School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, Deakin University.
