简要总结
Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of dopaminergic neurons that can cause some mobility limitations and it has association with quality of life (QOL) in patients with PD. Virtual reality (VR) has been used to treat of these patients Objective: Evaluate the functional capacity and QOL of individuals with PD using VR with X-Box Kinect®. Methods: Were selected 20 individuals classified as stages 1-3, aged 50-75 years. They were divided by lot into two groups (control and experimental) with ten patients in each. The group (CG) treated with exercises (conventional therapy) during five-week, with two sessions per week lasting 60 minutes, while the experimental group (EG) spent half the time with conventional physical therapy and other half of time in virtual rehabilitation (VR). Subjects were evaluated before and after treatment using the following scales: Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale and Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire .

结局指标
主要结局
Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale - Evaluates disease progression
时间窗: 8 weeks
Through the UPDRS disease progression was evaluated. Composed of 42 items, divided into four parts: mental activity, behavior and mood ; activities of daily living, motor operation and complications of drug therapy. For this study we evaluated the items : activities of daily living and motor examination on . The score for each item ranges from 0 to 4, and the maximum value indicates greater involvement by the disease and the minimum normality.
Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) - evaluates quality of life
时间窗: 8 weeks
The PDQ-39 is a method that evaluates the quality of life (QOL) in patients with PD through a questionnaire self-explanatory and easy to understand. There are 39 items divided into eight categories: mobility; activities of daily living; emotional well-being; social difficulties of PD; social support; cognition; communication and bodily discomfort. The score ranges from 0 (no problem) to 100 (maximum problem), or a low score indicates a better perception of quality of life.
