Effects of rTSMS Associated With Treadmill Training in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
76 patients around the world
Available in Brazil
The primary objective is to evaluate the effects of treadmill gait training associated with
repetitive transspinal magnetic stimulation on the change in rapid gait speed in Parkinson
Disease patients. The investigators hypothesize that the association of repetitive
transspinal magnetic stimulation with treadmill gait training should be superior to treadmill
gait training alone in improving gait symptoms in patients with PD. Additionally, will be
investigated the effects of treadmill gait training associated with repetitive transspinal
magnetic stimulation on comfortable gait speed; in clinical and neurophysiological measures;
in motor symptoms; in activities of daily living; in the ability to walk (total distance
covered); in balance performance; in time to complete the turn; in the severity of the
freezing of the gait; in mobility; in the level of physical activity; in the number and fear
of falls and in the perception of quality of life of patients with PD. In addition, the
possible side effects of the intervention will be evaluated.
