ABSTRACT

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that progressively compromises motor control and cognition. Recently, the new generation of video games has been used to promote motor cognitive training. These studies have shown improvement on postural control, cognition and performance of daily living activities in patients with Parkinson's disease. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of playing Microsoft Kinect Adventures™ on postural control of patients with Parkinson's disease. The design of study was a case series that was conducted at the Associação Brasil Parkinson, Brazil. Six patients (four males, two female) with Parkinson's disease (Hoehn and Yahr Stages 1 to 3) participated of this study. Patients performed fourteen 60-minute sessions, three times per week, playing four games of Kinect Adventures. The main outcome measures was the Limits of Stability. Secondary outcome was the safety. One patient had back pain during the period of training. The Limits of Stability before training and after training were 118.5 (28.0) and 163.7 (38.3), respectively. The training with Kinect Adventures™ games were safety and promoted improvement on postural control of patients with PD on stages 1 to 3 of Hoehn & Yahr scale.
