Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients with Parkinson's disease present motor dysfunctions such as stiffness, tremor, postural instability and bradykinesia, which leads to alterations of balance, necessitating specialized physiotherapeutic treatment. In this way this study aims to determine the effectiveness of two tools used in physiotherapy, kinesiotherapy and the Nintendo Wii. 45 patients will be evaluated through the Berg Balance Scale, Dynamic Gait Index, Timed up and go and PDQ-39, and will then be randomized to receive 16 sessions of Exercises or Nintendo Wii alone or together. After this period the patients will be reassessed to verify the effects of the techniques.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with Parkinson's disease present motor dysfunctions such as stiffness, tremor, postural instability and bradykinesia, which leads to alterations of balance, necessitating specialized physiotherapeutic treatment. In this way this study aims to determine the effectiveness of two tools used in physiotherapy, kinesiotherapy and the Nintendo Wii. 45 patients will be evaluated through the Berg Equilibrium Scale, Evaluated by the Dynamic Gait Index and the Timed up and go and PDQ-39. Later patients will be randomized to receive 16 sessions of Kinesiotherapy or Nintendo Wii alone or together, twice a week, for 50 minutes at the Neurociencias Outpatient Clinic of Teacher Magalhães Neto - FUBA. After this period the patients will be reassessed to verify the effects of the techniques.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Exercises

A program of therapeutic exercises (GC) based on the PNF method for a period of two months, with sessions two times a week for 50 minutes (a total of 16 sessions).All treatment groups prior to perform the study interventions,stretches of upper and lower limbs for 10 minutes. The GC treatment program consists of the following protocols: a) protocol 1: 20 minutes diagonal exercise upper limb (flexion-abduction-external rotation and extension-abduction-internal rotation),10 minutes diagonal exercise scapula (anterior and posterior elevation) and 10 minutes of exercise for trunk extension; b) protocol 2: 20 minutes diagonal exercise lower limb (flexion-abduction-external rotation and flexion-abduction-internal rotation),10 minutes diagonal exercise pelvis (anterior and posterior depression), and 10 minutes gait cycle training;
