Brief summary
Introduction: Although the motor changes are well determined in Parkinson's disease (PD), few studies describe the effects the virtual exercises on the clinical and functional outcomes in this disease. Objectives: To analyze the effectiveness of virtual exercises on functional exercise capacity, fatigue and quality of life in patients with PD. Methods: 20 subjects, 60 years old will be included, who will be randomized into 2 groups: group of virtual exercises associated with conventional exercises (n = 10) and control group with conventional exercise group (n = 10). The following variables are evaluated: functional exercise through walking test in 6 minutes, fatigue by the Fatigue Severity Scale and Quality of Life through Quality of Life Questionnaire-PDQ-39.
Interventions
OTHERVirtual exercises
The exercises will be performed with the Nintendo ® Wii Balance Board ® platform, and consist in: 1) Table Tilt; 2) Obstacle Course; 3) Tilt City; 4) Basic step; 5) Penguin; 6) Heading Soccer; 7) Basic Run. All patients underwent 12 sessions, twice a week for a period of 06 weeks.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Improvement of functional exercise capacity | The subjects will be followed for a period of 90 days. | Assessed by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), according to the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society, which is based on the evaluation of the maximum distance traveled by the patient for six minutes, expressed in meters. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Reduction of Fatigue | The subjects will be followed for a period of 90 days. | Assessed by the Fatigue Severity Scale, which consists of a questionnaire that assesses the impact of fatigue-related activities of daily living, rating ranges from 1 to 7 where 1 indicates little tired and 7, very tired. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Improvement of Quality of life | The subjects will be followed for a period of 90 days. | Assessed by the specific questionnaire for Parkinson's Disease, the PDQ 39. |
