This study was planned to investigate the use and results of virtual reality applications with specially prepared software for the rehabilitation of freezing phenomenon, which increases the falling anxiety of individuals with Parkinson's disease and causes social isolation. Individuals over the age of 50 who have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease by a specialist neurologist will be included in the study; Individuals evaluated in terms of balance, functional mobility, freezing phenomenon, participation, and cognitive status will be randomly divided into two groups receiving conventional treatment and additional virtual reality. After the preliminary evaluation, they will receive 8 weeks of treatment 4 days a week and will be evaluated after the treatment and 3 months after the treatment. In addition to the improvements that will emerge as a result of the treatments within the scope of the study, it is expected that the virtual reality application created with crowd simulation will provide more effective results in improving the parameters. Knowing the effects of exercises in crowds, which cannot be performed in the clinic, in the treatment of Parkinson's disease patients, whose freezing and freezing-related symptoms are aggravated, especially in crowded environments, will make significant contributions to the field.
