Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improved mobility, verified by the Timed up and go test, from the observation of decrease of at least 5% at execution time (seconds) in the pre and post intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improving the ability to modify the gait in response to changes in demand, checked through the Dynamic Gait Index, from the increasing the score at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements. Increased walking speed (meters/second) and cadence (steps/minute), verified through the 10-meter walk test, based on the statement of a variation of at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements. Improvement in the level of activity (mobility, freezing, dual task), checked by Parkinson Activity Scale, from the observation of an increase in the score of at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements. Improvement in gait parameters, such as increased stride length (cm) and speed (m/s), checked by means of kinematics, from the observation of an increase of at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements. Improvement in disability and disability caused by Parkinson's disease, verified by the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale from the decrease of the finding in the score of at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements. Decrease in the stage of Parkinson's disease, verified by Hoehn and Yahr Modified Scale, based on the statement of decrease of at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements. Improves the individual's ability perform daily activities, verified by the percentage of Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living Scale, from the realization of the increase of at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements. Improved balance and decrease the risk of falling, verified by the score of the Berg Balance Scale, based on the statement of increase of at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements. Improvement of static balance, with decreased postural sway, verified by Stabilometry, from the variation of finding at least 5% in pre and post intervention measurements. Improvement in gait and decreased episodes of freezing of gait disorders, verified by the score Freezing of Gait Questionnaire, based on the statement | — |
