Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the motor aspects of Parkinson's disease related to functional mobility. Through the 10-meter Gait Speed Test, it is expected to find values of 0.18 m / s increase in comfortable speed in the post-intervention period for people with Parkinson's disease.;To evaluate the motor aspects of Parkinson's disease related to static and dynamic balance using the Berg Balance Scale. It is expected to find the minimum detectable change values of 3 points (or 5% of the baseline score) in the post-intervention period for people with Parkinson's disease.;To evaluate the motor aspects of Parkinson's disease related to muscle strength and power of the lower limbs using the Five Times Sit to Stand Test. It is expected that in the post-intervention period, people with Parkinson's disease will be able to perform the test in less than 16 seconds, as time greater than this value shows a greater risk of falls. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the aspects of quality of life in people with Parkinson's Disease using the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire - 39 (PDQ-39). It is expected that in the post-intervention period, people with Parkinson's disease will achieve an improvement of 4.72 points, representing the least clinically important difference for this population. | — |
