This study aimed to examine whether post-TOCT myofascial release with foam roller (FR) could extend this effect by improving gait parameters, balance performance, and joint range of motion (ROM) in Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD). Methods: The study was conducted in the neurological rehabilitation unit and involved 36 participants with PD who were randomised into an intervention group (IG, n = 18) and a sham group (SG, n = 18). Both groups received TOCT for 3 days and 8 weeks. After exercise, myofascial release was applied to the neck, trunk, and lumbar region using three sets of 60-s FR in both groups. Participants\u2019 spatiotemporal gait parameters, balance, cervical, trunk, and ankle dorsiflexion ROM, motor symptoms, stability limits, functional mobility, quality of life, and goal attainment level were assessed before and after the procedure. Results: Compared with the SG, gait speed, balance, stability limits, dynamic sitting balance, and trunk control improved in the IG; neck, trunk, and ankle ROM increased; and motor symptom severity decreased (p &lt; 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in quality of life and goal attainment scores between groups (p &gt; 0.05). Conclusion: FR is an effective method of supporting TOCT to improve gait speed, balance, and ROM in PD. Our findings support the inclusion of myofascial release in PD rehabilitation programmes.
