Introduction: Parkinson's disease is a common progressive chronic degenerative neurological disease, characterized by motor symptoms including bradykinesia, rigidity, tremors, postural disturbances, and instability. As well as non-motor symptoms, such as sleep disorders, depression, anxiety and cognitive difficulties. With regard to physiotherapy techniques, aerobic exercise or aerobic exercise modalities are intended to delay motor impairment and offer personal and social benefits.
Objectives: the ultimate purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of exercise in people with Parkinson's disease.
Methods: an advanced search of scientific articles was carried out in the databases PubMed, PEDro, Enfispo, SciELO, Embase and EBSCOhost applying the search equation: ((("parkinson"[Title/Abstract]) AND ("exercise"[Title/Abstract])) OR ("parkinson"[Title/Abstract])) AND ("physiotherapy"[Title/Abstract]).
Results: for the literature review, 10 randomized clinical trials were selected that studied the effect of exercise on the study population described above in relation to four variables: gait, balance, psychological function and quality of life.
Conclusion: the application of aerobic exercise or another modality of it as a treatment technique is effective for people with Parkinson's disease in terms of gait, balance, psychological function and quality of life, presenting minimal controversy in the last three variables mentioned.
