Intervenção por Realidade Virtual associada a esteira ergométrica sobre o congelamento de marcha na Doença de Parkinson. 2022. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Bacharelado em Fisioterapia) – Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, Belém, 2022.https://repositorio.cesupa.br/handle/prefix/416To investigate whether the intervention by Virtual Reality associated with a treadmill will benefit the freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson's disease. A quantitative, longitudinal, experimental, uncontrolled, open study. Including 2 patients of both genders and age of 77 years, diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and who have freezing of gait. It took place in the Physiotherapy School Clinic of the Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2 times a week during 5 weeks, with a duration of 30 minutes. They were evaluated pre and post-treatment by means of Dynamic Gait Index (DMI), Freezing Gait Scale (FOG-Q) and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) for the staging of the disease. The intervention led to a slight improvement in the assessment instruments used, (p=0.684) in MDI, (p=0.776) in FOG-Q and (p=0.544) in UPDRS, emphasizing the improvement mainly in dual-task gait. The intervention showed benefits in freezing the gait, evidencing the effectiveness of this treatment due to the positive evolution of the instruments used, however, it was not a study with a high number of sessions and participants, limiting the data represented.Acesso AbertoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Doença de ParkinsonRealidade virtualDoença neurodegenerativaExercício físicoAnálise da marchaCIENCIAS DA SAUDETrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
