Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that patients with Parkinson's disease submitted to gait training on a treadmill associated with the external auditory stimulation show an improvement in gait parameters and more functional mobility than patients submitted only to gait training on a treadmill with no association to any other stimulus. To do so, individuals will be evaluated before and after the intervention in the treadmill with 30 minutes duration, through a kinematic gait analysis performed on an oval circuit, which will be analyzed the individual step length. Functional mobility will be assessed by the tests Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Timed Up and Go (TUG) and gait speed test 10 meters. To check the effectiveness of acute gait training on a treadmill associated with the auditory stimulus will be carried out statistical analysis using the PASW statistics software 18.0® (SPSS) and in all statistical tests will be adopted the significance level of p<0,05. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that there is a linearity in the step length values during treadmill gait training. To verify this linearity during the 30 minutes participants walk on the treadmill, the variable step length will be analyzed every 5 minutes and also will be added the calculation of the step length variability, because this details the step length measurements and is a major flaw measure the neural mechanisms of motion control. | — |
