Parkinson's disease
Conditions
Interventions
Participants will be divided into two groups: group of healthy elderly subjects (n=10) and group of elderly with Parkinson's disease (n=10) and then, they will be subject to an assessment on a 7 meter

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Differences in gait kinetic and kinematic variables of individuals with Parkinson's disease and healthy elderly during normal gait and with dual task. To assess these variables will be analyzed step length, walking speed and peak ground reaction force in the phases of touch and propulsion during a gait assessment in three different conditions: normal gait, walking talking on cell phone and walking carrying bags weighing. And, for determining the expected outcome, will be considered a variation of at least 5% at each variable among the groups during the three different conditions of gait. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Negative influence of the dual task on gait kinetic and kinematic variables of individuals who present themselves in the same health conditions.To assessment, will be analyzed step length, walking speed and peak ground reaction force in the phases of touch and propulsion during a gait assessment in three different conditions: normal gait, walking talking on cell phone and walking carrying bags weighing. And, for determining the expected outcome, will be considered a variation of at least 5% at each variable between the three different conditions of gait. | — |
