Conditions

Parkinson's disease

Interventions

Thirty people aged 60 to 80 years old, with idiopathic Parkinson's disease, randomly assigned (draw) will participate in the study: Group 1 (G1 - Control Group) - Mat Pilates (n = 15) and Group 2 (G2)
balance (MiniBESTest)
flexibility (Wells Bank)
cardiopulmonary fitness (6MWT, Pimax and PEmax) and kinematic analysis of gait under distinct routine conditions (preferred speed gait, unsteady gait, obstacle gait, fearful gait, gait carrying a tray
the mat pilates phase, with 15 medium intensity exercises for muscle strengthening, coordination, balance, endurance and flexibility
and phase three (final) of deceleration and stretching.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Individuals with Parkinson's disease between 60 and 80 years old, members of a extension project; classified in stages I and II according to the Hoehn Yahr Scale; without cognitive alterations; medical release for physical activity

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Cardiovascular or respiratory alterations; fractures or soft tissue injuries in the last six months that would disrupt the performance of the activities and the accomplishment of other therapies

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Improvement in gait performance after functional training intervention, determined by kinematic gait analysis simulating everyday situations through changes in gait time parameters: increased speed, decreased double-support time, increased walking time , increased swing time, decreased support and double support time and decreased variability of gait temporal variables.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Significant improvement in functional fitness in the functional training group, observed by the best AAHPERD scores, demonstrated by decreased coordination test time, increased flexibility values, decreased agility and dynamic balance test time, increased repetitions in the strength and endurance test and decreased time in the general aerobic endurance test
