O treinamento funcional pode alterar o desempenho na UPDRS de pessoas com doença de Parkinson?

Abstract

Objective: Comparison of performance in UPDRS of people with Parkinson's disease after 12 weeks of functional training. Methods: Participants in the first year of 20 people aged 60 to 80 years, diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, attended the "Parkinson in Motion" extension project and in stages II and II according to the HoehnYahr Scale (H & Y ) to evaluate the progression of PD. The groups were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1: Functional Training (n = 9) and Group 2: Control Group - Pilates (n = 11). The evaluation of individuals with PD, before and after an intervention, was performed in one day, with an average of 1 hour, on a date and at the time of the extension project by the same physiotherapist / principal investigator. Results: The results were obtained by means of an intrinsic analysis of results and no differences were found in the total score and in the UPDRS domains in any group 1 and in group 2 before and after one intervention (p> 0.05). When performing an intergroup analysis, no comparison was made with Group 1 (Functional Training) with Group 2 (Pilates) in the total score and UPDRS domains. Conclusion: There was no improvement in the total score and by scale domains before the functional training. Also, there was no difference in complete items and UPDRS domains between the functional training compared to control groups.
