SUMMARY:

Introduction: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative, chronic and progressive disease that produces signs such as tremor at rest, changes in upper limb functionality (UL) and cognitive decline, which impact the performance of daily activities. Eccentric exercises have already demonstrated the ability to reduce tremors in people with PD. Exergames have also been used in the rehabilitation of people with PD, promoting improvements in gait, balance and cognition. Objective: To evaluate the effects of training using Nintendo Wii games when combined with upper limb eccentric exercises (ULMS) on upper limb tremor and functionality compared to training exclusively consisting of upper limb eccentric exercises. Method: This is a randomized, controlled and blind clinical trial, with a sample of 25 people with PD randomly allocated into two groups: Nintendo Wii Group combined with eccentric exercises (n=11), which will perform 30 minutes of eccentric exercises and 25 minutes of training with Nintendo Wii, and exclusive eccentric exercises group (n=14), which will only do eccentric exercises for 30 minutes. Both groups will receive intervention for 8 consecutive weeks, twice a week, totaling 16 sessions. The groups will be evaluated before training, within 7 and 30 days after the end of training. Preliminary results and conclusions: There were promising results such as: increased hand grip strength; reduction of upper limb tremor; improvement in the functional performance of the upper limbs. These results were most present in the assessments carried out within 7 days after the end of the intervention protocol.
