ABORDAGENS TERAPÊUTICAS NA REABILITAÇÃO DA MARCHA DE PACIENTES COM DIAGNÓSTICO DE DOENÇA DE PARKINSON

UMA REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA

Abstract

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that severely 
impacts gait and the quality of life of affected individuals. This study aimed to 
systematically review therapeutic approaches for gait rehabilitation in PD patients. The 
research was conducted using scientific databases and followed the PRISMA protocol. 
The results indicate that interventions such as specific gait training, the use of vibrotactile 
devices, visual and auditory sensory cues, and physiotherapy techniques showed 
significant potential in improving gait performance, enhancing motor control, and 
reducing gait-related difficulties. Multidisciplinary intervention proved to be essential, as 
the combination of these therapeutic approaches resulted in considerable improvements 
in patients’ mobility. The findings suggest that integrated therapies can optimize gait 
rehabilitation, contributing to the maintenance of functionality and independence in 
individuals with PD.
