Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: Protocol viability. verified by the safety variables, (percentage of the occurrence of serious imbalances that compromise the safety of the participants during the intervention, being considered as parameter a limit of percentage of occurrences); adherence to the treatment, (attendance frequency of the participants to the treatment sessions, being considered as parameter the minimum percentage for each participant).This outcome will be assessed shortly after the participants' compliance with the eligibility criteria after completion of the 8 weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of follow-up.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1:Improvement of Functional Mobility. Verified by the Timed up and Go Test (TUG), which consists of the evaluation from the seated position to walk the distance of 3 meters. This task will be timed. It will have as parameter the graduation of the execution time by an ordinal scale of 3 points (minimum 0 and maximum 3).This outcome will be assessed shortly after the participants' compliance with the eligibility criteria after completion of the 8 weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of follow-up. ; Expected outcome 1:Improvement of gait activity in different sensory contexts. Measured by the Dynamic Marching Index (MDI) is composed of eight tasks, which require that the patient perform the gait adapts to different sensory contexts. In each task the patient will be evaluated according to an ordinal scale of 4 categories, where 3 is the best performance respectively. This outcome will be assessed shortly after the participants' compliance with the eligibility criteria after completion of the 8 weeks of intervention and after 4 weeks of follow-up.;Expected outcome 1:Stability of resting heart rate variability. It will be analyzed by means of a Polar heart rate meter, model RS800cx ©, where measurements will be granted through the time domain and the rate of consecutive heart rate oscillation (RR interval) , the beats per minute being stored from one to one second. The data will be categorized as values ??of variation of high frequency (HF) (0.15 to 0.4 Hz) as parasympathetic action of the vagus nerve and low frequency (LF) (0.4 to 0.15 Hz) as the parasympathetic action and sympathetic, with sympathetic predominance and the LF / HR relationship as the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The higher prevalence of low frequency values ??will be considered the parameter of variability stability. This outcome will be assessed shortly after the participants' compliance with the eligibility criteria after completion of the 8 w
