Farseen Mohammed P’s Scoping Review Examines Timing of Medication and Physiotherapy in Parkinson’s Disease
Mangaluru, Karnataka / Malappuram, Kerala: Research into Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation increasingly considers how physiotherapy interacts with other aspects of patient management. Farseen Mohammed P, a specialist physiotherapist in neurosciences and clinical researcher, has contributed to this field through a published scoping review examining the relationship between dopaminergic medication timing and physiotherapy delivery.
The research represents an important part of Farseen’s developing academic profile, which includes neurophysiotherapy, neurorehabilitation, evidence-based practice and clinical research.
Published Research in Parkinson’s Disease
The research paper is titled:
“Timing of Dopaminergic Medication Relative to Physiotherapy Delivery in Adults with Parkinson’s Disease: A Scoping Review.”
The study was published in the International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology in 2026.
Farseen Mohammed P is listed as the second author and corresponding author, with Anjana S as the first author.
The paper explores the available literature concerning the timing of dopaminergic medication in relation to physiotherapy delivery for adults with Parkinson’s disease.
Understanding the Research Question
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological condition in which movement-related difficulties can affect daily functioning and quality of life. Physiotherapy is one component of multidisciplinary rehabilitation for people living with the condition.
Medication, particularly dopaminergic therapy, also plays an important role in the management of motor symptoms.
The scoping review addresses the intersection between these two areas by examining available evidence concerning when dopaminergic medication is administered in relation to physiotherapy.
Rather than evaluating a single treatment protocol, a scoping review can help map existing research, identify patterns in the literature and highlight areas where further investigation may be needed.
Connection With Neurophysiotherapy
The topic of the review closely aligns with Farseen’s postgraduate specialization in neurosciences, with a focus on neurophysiotherapy and neurorehabilitation.
His clinical training at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, Mangaluru, included exposure to neurological rehabilitation involving Parkinson’s disease as well as stroke, traumatic brain injury, Guillain–Barré syndrome and spinal cord disorders.
This clinical background forms part of the foundation for his interest in neurological rehabilitation research.
Evidence-Based Physiotherapy
The Parkinson’s disease review also reflects Farseen’s broader interest in evidence-based physiotherapy.
His research portfolio includes systematic reviews, scoping reviews and evidence synthesis, methodologies that allow researchers to examine existing scientific literature in a structured manner.
Through such work, research questions arising from clinical practice can be explored by mapping available evidence and identifying areas requiring further research.
Developing Research Skills
Farseen has pursued additional training in research methodology alongside his clinical education.
His professional development includes training related to systematic reviews, meta-analysis, Good Clinical Practice and health science research and publication.
In August 2026, he participated in a five-day international-level hands-on workshop on systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by IIRA, Mumbai.
These activities complement his growing experience in evidence synthesis and clinical research.
Parkinson’s Disease as a Research Interest
The published scoping review forms part of a wider interest in Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation.
Farseen’s professional expertise includes neurophysiotherapy and neurorehabilitation, while his research interests specifically include Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise.
His work demonstrates an interest in examining rehabilitation questions not only from a clinical perspective but also through structured research methods.
Broader Research Portfolio
Although Parkinson’s disease is an important area of his work, it is one component of a wider research portfolio.
Farseen has also investigated or expressed research interests in:
- Stroke rehabilitation
- Therapeutic exercise
- Evidence-based physiotherapy
- Clinical intervention research
- Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation
- Metabolic and functional health
- Neurorehabilitation
His postgraduate dissertation focused on eccentric versus concentric strengthening and functional mobility in subacute stroke patients.
He has also continued research into strengthening interventions through systematic review work.
Scientific Presentations and Academic Recognition
Farseen has presented his research at professional physiotherapy events.
At Mangalore PhysioCon 2026, he presented his postgraduate research concerning strengthening interventions and functional mobility following stroke.
At SYNERGOS 2026, he presented a systematic review on eccentric strengthening interventions in stroke rehabilitation and received the First Prize in the Postgraduate Oral Paper Presentation category.
These activities complement his published work and demonstrate his participation in scientific communication within the physiotherapy field.
Combining Clinical and Research Perspectives
Farseen’s professional development reflects an effort to connect clinical rehabilitation with research methodology.
His clinical training provides exposure to neurological patients, while his academic work allows him to investigate specific questions related to rehabilitation.
The Parkinson’s disease scoping review is one example of this approach, examining a question involving both pharmacological timing and physiotherapy delivery.
The research does not establish a universal medication or physiotherapy schedule. Instead, its role is to map the available literature and contribute to understanding the existing evidence surrounding the topic.
Continuing Interest in Neurorehabilitation
Neurorehabilitation remains central to Farseen Mohammed P’s professional identity.
His postgraduate specialization, clinical training, research activities and continuing education have all contributed to his development in the field.
His published work in Parkinson’s disease adds another dimension to his research portfolio, alongside his work in stroke rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise.
An Emerging Clinical Research Profile
Farseen Mohammed P’s contribution to the Parkinson’s disease literature represents one milestone in his developing career as a physiotherapist and clinical researcher.
From postgraduate clinical training in neurosciences to scientific presentations, systematic review projects and published research, he has continued to expand his engagement with evidence-based rehabilitation.
The scoping review on dopaminergic medication timing and physiotherapy delivery illustrates his interest in clinically relevant research questions and adds to his growing academic work in neurophysiotherapy and rehabilitation.
