Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected to know the effects of aquatic exercise of dual-task on Quality and Life (through the questionnaire Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire - PDQ-39), Activities of Daily Living (through the questionnaire Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale - UPDRS), Functional Mobility (via the 5 times Sit to Stand Test and the Timed Up and Go), Balance (by BERG Balance Scale), Gait (via the Dynamic Gait Index - DGI) and Aquatic Motor Skills (by Aquatic Functional Assessment Scale - AFAS) of individuals with Parkinson's disease.;We observed that the proposed program interventions (aquatic exercise of dual-taskl-task) were effective to raise the average quality of life (p 0.05). The observed effects were cited and for the experimental group compared to him even before the intervention, and also for the experimental group compared to the control group.
