Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome: A satisfactory response is expected to improve balance and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease, as these variables are described in many studies that address the Pilates Method. Parameters: Hoehn & Yahr scale, Schwab and England scale, Performance-Oriented Mobility Scale (POMA), Timed Up and Go (TUG), Functional Reach Test (FRT), Unified Parkinson's Disease Assessment Scale (UPDRS- III), Parkinson's Activity Scale (PAS) and the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome: as it is an intervention involving a means of physical conditioning, it is assumed that with the cessation of the activity the benefits involving the practice decrease after a few months | — |
