N2  - Background: Parkinson{u2019}s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease occurs at late years of life and characterized by four cardinal signs of bradykinesia,  static tremor, rigidity, and postural instability. Improvement in the inputs from proprioceptors using sensory specific balance training would improve balance among patients with PD. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of proprioceptive training on balance in patients with idiopathic PD. Patients and Methods: Thirty male patients with PD with age ranged from 55 to 70 years were included in this study. Patients were divided into two equal groups (GI and GII), GI received program of proprioceptive training in addition to traditional physical therapy and GII received the traditional physical therapy.The physical therapy program was conducted three times per week, for 6 weeks. All patients were assessed for balance before and after therapy using Biodex Balance System (BBS)ly non-significant difference between both groups post treatment
