Abstract
Background: Multicomponent physical training in patients with Parkin son disease may improve their functional independence, especially in terms
of gait speed and coordination. Aim: To assess the effects of an eight weeks
multicomponent physical training program in patients with Parkinson disease.
Material and Methods: Fourteen patients with Parkinson disease participated
in a physical training program that lasted eight weeks. Three sessions lasting 60
minutes per week were carried out. Patients were assessed using the six minutes
walk, timed up and go and the unipodal stance test. Results: After the training
period, significant improvements in the six minute walk test and timed up and
go were observed. No significant changes were observed in the unipodal stance
test. Conclusions: The eight weeks training program improved gait speed and
functional status in these patients with Parkinson disease.
