- Interventions
- The sample will be composed of individuals with Parkinson's disease, divided into two groups: physical therapy group (n=22) and physical therapy + cognitive group (n=24). The physical therapy intervention program will be based on Bobath concept which will include exercises to achieve the following physiotherapy goals: stimulate neuromotor recruitment, stimulate balance, stimulate functional independence and activities of daily living, improve the gait, minimize the occurrence and/or fear of falling and the freezing, improve sleep quality, improve quality of life. Therapies will last 60 minutes, with a frequency of 2 times a week in a total of 32 therapies, following gradual evolution in the complexity of the exercises. The physiotherapy + cognitive group will receive beyond the physical therapy protocol described above, therapies to promote training of cognitive-perceptual system with cognitive exercises including memory activities, attention, cognitive processing, calculation, concentration, spatial orientation, executive skills, language, evocation, among others, lasting 30 minutes after the completion of the motor training.;Other;G11.427.690;E01.370.600.250;F02.463.188;E02.779
