Parkinson's Disease
Conditions
Interventions
- Dual aquatic task exercises (15 individuals)
This is a study that looked at the effects of five different, randomized groups:
- Exercises of simple terrestrial task (13 individuals)
- Dual terrestrial task exercises (13 individuals)
- Simple aquatic task exercises (14 individuals)
- Group control (15 individuals).
The groups were randomized and the exercise groups were submitted to 12 weeks of intervention, twice a week, in which each intervention lasted 50 minutes of physical

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1 Expected improvement in soil exercise and aquatic exercise groups on the cognitive functions of individuals with Parkinson's Disease, with an increase of at least 10% in the score of the following cognitive scales: Montreal Cognitive Assessment; Mini-Mental State Examination; Trail Making test parts A and B; Strook Task test. The evaluations were made before and after 3 months of exercises in soil or aquatic exercises.;Outcome found 1 Verified by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scales; Mini-Mental State Examination; Trail Making test parts A and B; Strook Task test, more than 10% increase in cognitive functions in the ground exercise groups and in the aquatic exercise groups. | — |

| Expected outcome 2 Expected improvement in the ground exercise and aquatic exercise groups on motor functions, with an increase of at least 15% in the scores of the following scales: Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, sections II and III. The evaluations were made before and after 3 months of exercises in soil or aquatic exercises.;Outcome found 2 It was possible to verify by the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, sections II and III., An increase of more than 20% in motor functions in the ground exercise groups and in the aquatic exercise groups.;Expected outcome 3 Expected improvement in the groups of exercise in soil and aquatic exercises on the quality of life, with increase of at least 10% in the score of the following scale: - Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire - 39. The evaluations were made before and after 3 months of exercises in soil or aquatic exercises.;Outcome found 3 We identified an increase of more than 10% in the quality of life, verified by the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire - 39 in the groups of exercises in soil and in the groups of aquatic exercises.;Expected outcome 4 Expected improvement in the soil exercise and aquatic exercise groups on functional mobility, with a decrease of at least 20% in the duration of the following tests: Timed up an Go test, with dual motor and cognitive tasks associated; Five Times sit to Stand test. The evaluations were made before and after 3 months of exercises in soil or aquatic exercises.;Outcome found 4 There was a decrease in the performance of the Timed up an Go test, with two associated motor and cognitive tasks; Five Times sit to Stand test, which reflects in better functional mobility of the exercise groups on the ground and in the water exercise groups.;Expected outcome 5 Expected improvement in the ground exercise and water gait exercise groups, with an increase of at least 10% in the Dynamic Gait Index scale score; and a decrease of at least 10% in the time taken to perform the G | — |
