Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: Protocol viability. Variables: Execution safety (measured in percentage through the occurrence of serious imbalances that compromise the safety of the participants during the intervention, being considered as a limit a percentage of 20% of occurrences), adherence to the treatment (measured as percentage by attendance frequency Of the participants to the treatment sessions, being considered as a minimum percentage of 80% for each participant). For purposes of sample calculation, the mean and standard deviation of the freezing gait score will be used as the primary outcome, assessed by the freezing of gait questionnaire (which contains 6 questions regarding the severity and frequency of the freezing). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Effects of gait protocol on: gait velocity (evaluated through the 10-meter walk test, widely used and recommended for gait speed assessment in Parkinson's disease), functional mobility in single task and double task, through the test Timed Up and Go test in single and double task.To test the effect caused by the intervention will be used statistical tests according to the distribution of the data. The level of significance of 5% (p <0.05) will be adopted in all tests. | — |
