Effects of Different Exercises on Parkinson's Disease Abilities from Network Meta-Analysis

A network meta-analysis of 67 randomized controlled trials involving 2,642 patients with Parkinson's disease, published by Jianfeng Tang on figshare in 2026. It compares the effects of 11 exercise modalities on motor and non-motor abilities, with data sourced from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and CNKI databases up to December 2025.

Use Cases

• Ranking exercise modalities for specific outcomes based on SUCRA values mentioned in the description
• Comparing the effectiveness of walking training versus dance training on motor function metrics
• Analyzing the relationship between exercise type and cognitive improvement using MoCA scores
• Informing clinical guideline development for Parkinson's disease physical therapy

Strengths

• Includes data from 67 randomized controlled trials, a substantial evidence base
• Analyzes 2,642 patient records across multiple clinical studies
• Compares 11 distinct exercise modalities (e.g., treadmill training, dance training, Nordic walking)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect publication bias inherent to systematic reviews
