Summary

Balance rehabilitation programs in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) that include functional exercises, i.e. using tasks of daily living in training, show improvements in variables related to balance and gait. In previous studies, the advantage of taking into account the specificity of the task and the inclusion of specific objectives for the motor rehabilitation of people with PD has been observed. The interventions with the best results are usually carried out in hospital centers or rehabilitation gyms and, in groups of people.

Due to the situation experienced since last March 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, group rehabilitation programs have been affected, especially in those pathologies that involve older age groups such as PD. For this reason, the need to transfer therapies to the home is considered, as well as to make people aware of the importance of continued rehabilitation, even from other settings. In the present study, we propose a rehabilitation program at home for people with Parkinson's disease based on balance with functional exercises, which will be compared with a home control group of people with PD that stay at home without any physical rehabilitation, and a conventional group physiotherapy program carried out in a rehabilitation gym in groups of 6 people. The effects of the experimental intervention and the control groups will be evaluated on outcomes related to balance using a dynamometric platform and outcomes related to gait through 3D photogrammetry.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

OTHER

Home functional balance physiotherapy

Experimental physiotherapy program is carried out at home to improve the balance of people with Parkinson's disease through exercises that simulate everyday functional contexts.

OTHER

Conventional physiotherapy

Conventional control physiotherapy program is carried out face-to-face in a rehabilitation gym and in groups of 6 people. The conventional program of physiotherapy includes conventional therapeutic goals of rehabilitation in people with Parkinson's disease.
