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

67 randomized controlled trials involving 2,642 patients were analyzed to compare exercise modalities for Parkinson's disease. The dataset, created by Jianfeng Tang and last updated in May 2026, contains results from a network meta-analysis. Findings indicate walking training most effectively improved motor scores, while dance training was best for mobility and walking endurance.

Use Cases

• Ranking exercise efficacy for motor symptoms based on UPDRS-III, TUG, and 6MWT outcome measures
• Comparing exercise impacts on non-motor abilities based on MoCA and PDQ-39 scores
• Informing clinical exercise prescription based on SUCRA values from network meta-analysis

Strengths

• Analysis is based on 67 randomized controlled trials, a substantial evidence base
• Includes data from 2,642 individual patients
• Compares 11 distinct exercise modalities (e.g., treadmill training, dance, boxing, yoga)

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 meta-analyses of published trials
