Parkinson's disease
Conditions
Interventions
This is an “umbrella” research project that includes three different interventions, which will be carried out sequentially as the result of the next intervention is dependent on the previous one. Cont

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: For participants of the Parkinson group: have a minimum age of 50 and a maximum of 80 years; both genders; having a diagnosis by a private neurologist that indicates the presence of Idiopathic Parkinson Disease; have independent locomotion without the aid of auxiliary devices (cane, for example); being under drug treatment with stable levodopa for at least 3 weeks; not having undergone brain surgery or deep brain stimulation for Parkinson Disease treatment; no history of orthopedic and vision problems that make it impossible to comply with the experimental protocol (corrected vision with glasses is allowed); not having uncontrolled cardiovascular, metabolic or inflammatory problems; not showing advanced cognitive decline; present a medical certificate authorizing the performance of physical exercise. For control group participants: have a minimum age of 50 and a maximum of 80 years; both genders; independent locomotion without aid of auxiliary devices; not having history of orthopedic and vision problems that make it impossible to comply with the experimental protocol (corrected vision with glasses is allowed); not having uncontrolled cardiovascular, metabolic or inflammatory problems; not showing advanced cognitive decline
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Do not present proof of Parkinson's disease, only for participants in the Parkinson's group in interventions 1 and 3; those with other neurological disorders; heart problems (i.e., arrhythmias, indication of myocardial ischemia); musculoskeletal disorders; cognitive deficits; brain surgery or Deep Brain Stimulation for the treatment of Parkinson disease
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the effect of a physical exercise protocol focusing on the side most affected by Parkinson's disease versus the less affected side versus both sides on gait asymmetry in people with Parkinson's disease;To compare the effect of a physical exercise protocol focused on the lower limbs performed in conjunction with an intermittent normobaric hypoxia procedure on gait asymmetry in people with Parkinson's disease;Verify the effects of a 12-week intervention protocol on gait asymmetry in people with Parkinson's disease | — |
