Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1 Increase in speed and in the gain of saccadic eye movement, measured by electronystagmography, with a difference between groups of 5%, in measurements in the pre-intervention and immediate post-intervention period at the end of the 05-day protocol. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 2 There will be an improvement in body balance measured by the Berg balance scale, from the observation of a variation of at least 50% compared to the pre and post times of the intervention group.;Expected outcome 3 There will be improvement in speed and gait performance, measured by the "Time Up and Go Test", from the finding of a variation of at least 50% compared to the pre and post times of the intervention group.;Expected outcome 4 There will be a reduction in the total score of the UPDRS Scale, based on the finding of a 20% variation compared to the pre and post times of the intervention group. | — |
