Summary

Patients with Parkinson's disease present motor dysfunctions such as stiffness, tremor, postural instability and bradykinesia, which leads to alterations of balance, necessitating specialized physiotherapeutic treatment. In this way this study aims to determine the effectiveness of two tools used in physiotherapy, kinesiotherapy and the Nintendo Wii. 45 patients will be evaluated through the Berg Balance Scale, Dynamic Gait Index, Timed up and go and PDQ-39, and will then be randomized to receive 16 sessions of Exercises or Nintendo Wii alone or together. After this period the patients will be reassessed to verify the effects of the techniques.
