Brief Summary

The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of a combined therapy of aerobic exercise and transcranial photobiomodulation upon the cardinal motor sympomts of Parkinson´s disease of a group of Parkinson´s disease patients. It was hypothesized that aerobic exercise and transcranial photobiomodulation would yield significant benefits in the cardinal motor sympomts of the illness.
