VIRTUAL REALITY; PARKINSON’S DISEASE; AEROBIC EXERCISE; COGNITION; QUALITY OF LIFE.
Introduction: Parkinson's disease is considered a neurodegenerative, chronic and progressive disease that affects the central nervous system. This decrease leads to changes in global functionality, leading to cognitive deficits, which impact on the quality of life of these people. In the face of current treatment, there is a growing emphasis on complementary interventions, such as aerobic exercise, which has already been shown to have positive effects on the rehabilitation of people with PD, and immersive virtual reality, which there is still a low certainty of evidence about its use. in the rehabilitation of this population. Objective: To compare the effects of training using virtual reality with training with active stationary cycling on the cognition and quality of life of people with PD. Methods: This is a randomized, controlled and blind clinical trial, with X people with Parkinson's
