Propiocepción en el entrenamiento de la marcha en pacientes con Parkinson

ABSTRACT: Parkinson's disease is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease, its etiology is unknown, but it can be associated with genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Signs and symptoms include motor and non-motor alterations such as tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity, postural instability, cognitive impairment, and bradyphrenia, among others, causing difficulty in performing activities of daily living. The objective of the research work was to analyze the importance of proprioception within gait training in Parkinson's patients to identify effects and benefits through bibliographic compilation in updated scientific databases. The research design was a documentary with a descriptive approach, verifying the integrity of the scientific articles through analysis. An evaluation was made to verify the methodological quality of the articles, according to the PEDro scale, where pieces with a score equal to or greater than six were selected, obtaining 35 studies for the current research project. The analysis of the articles shows that the application of proprioception exercises helps to improve gait, correct posture, reduce tremors, and improve coordination, helping to prevent the risk of falls because it also intervenes in the improvement of deep sensitivity and the ability of reflex stabilization with the harmony of movements, improving the activities of daily living in patients with Parkinson's disease.
