Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To describe and compare the performance of healthy patients with the diagnosis of Parkinson's in a cognitive-motivational task in a struggle between two consecutive weeks and after one month. Timed up and go test, trail making test were used to evaluate. There was learning and retention from week to week, and after one month. The elderly were older than the elderly with Parkinson's disease.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Investigate possible correlations between performance in the cognitive-motor task and functional evaluation scales. Timed up and go test, trail making test, UPDRS-III, 6 minute walk test, BERG balance scale, mini mental. There was correlation between schooling and age for the TMT parts A and B and the task of functional ambulation parts A and B. The TMT part B correlated with the BERG, and the mini mental with the TMT part A for the control group. And, for the group with Parkinson's disease, schooling correlated with TMT part B and the task of functional ambulation part A, age also correlated with the task of functional ambulation part A. BERG correlated with TMT parts A and B and , with the task of functional ambulation parts A and B. The mini mental correlated with the task of functional ambulation part A.	—
