Thirty-four subjects with Parkinson's disease, with a mean age of 64.4 ± 9.7 years, were divided into three groups: 12 subjects in the exergame group used the Nintendo Wii (R) as a tool to promote phy

Eligibility

Age
50 Years to 80 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Subjects with moderate stages of Parkinson's disease; both genders; autonomy to perform the exercises; identified through the Mini Mental Status Examination

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: The smokers; who presented an uncorrected visual deficit; associated respiratory, cardiac or neurological disease; who had changes in Parkinson's disease medication (dopaminergic) during the study; three consecutive days of physical training

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome: Exergen training is more effective than functional training to improve respiratory capacity in individuals with Parkinson's disease. And the failure to perform physical exercises can worsen the respiratory condition of these individuals. Evaluative method: the spirometer, manovacuometer and the 6-minute walk test. Conclusion: Individuals in the exergame group and the functional training group increased the strength of the respiratory muscles [Pimáx: F (1,31) = 22,18; p <0.001; r = 0.41]; Pmax [F (1.31) = 31.53; p <0.001; r = 0.50] and the distance walked in the 6-minute walk test [F (1,31) = 13,22; p <0.01; r = 0.29] after the intervention. However, when compared to the control group, only the inspiratory muscle strength in the individuals who performed exercises with exergame was different [F (2,31) = 9,34; p <0.01; r = 0.37]. It was also found that the control group decreased mean forced expiratory flow after the intervention [F (1,31) = 6,93; p <0.05; r = 0.18].;Expected outcome: Exercise training with exergame and functional training are believed to improve balance in individuals with Parkinson's. Evaluation method: Baropodometry, berg scale, Time Up Go. Conclusion: Individuals who underwent exergame physical training improved the balance [F (2,31) = 3.52, p, 0.05], fear of falling [(2,31) = 29,94 , p <0.001] and lower limb mobility [(2,31) = 4,12, p <0,05], different from subjects submitted to functional training and individuals who remained without physical exercise.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome: It is believed that subjects with Parkinson's disease present reductions in respiratory capacity variables. Evaluative method: Spirometer, Manovacuometer and 6-minute walk test (values obtained by the participants compared to the values predicted before the intervention protocol) Conclusion: It was observed that the participants presented values below the predicted in the variables that consider the respiratory capacity [TC6 min: T (24) = -13,341, p <0.001]; [Pmax: T (24) = -3.771, p <0.01]; [Pmax: T (24) = -11.062, p <0.001]; [FVC: T (24) = -8.329, p <0.001]; [PFE: T (24) = -11.077, p <0.001]; [FEV1: T (24) = -4.739, p <0.001]; [FEV1 / FVC: T (24) = 3.660, p <0.01]; [FEF25-75%: T (24) = 2,582, p <0.05]. Indicating that these subjects present respiratory compromises that can lead to morbidity and death.;Expected outcome: That exercise training with exergame be more effective than functional training to improve quality of life and the perceived state of depression in individuals with Parkinson's disease. And that the individuals in the control group do not happen the same. Evaluation method: Parkinson's Disease Quality of Life Assessment Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory. Results: Exergame and functional training increased perception of quality of life [F (1,31) = 39,89; p <0.001; r = 0.56] and decreased the perception of depression [F (1,31) = 21,59; p <0.001; r = 0.41] in subjects with Parkinson's disease. The perception of quality of life decreased in the control group after 1 month of not performing physical exercises.
