Resumen
Objetivo: Investigar si la intervención por Realidad Virtual asociada a una cinta rodante beneficiará la congelación de la marcha en pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson. Métodos: Un estudio cuantitativo, longitudinal, experimental, no controlado y abierto. Incluye 2 pacientes de ambos sexos y de 77 años de edad, diagnosticados con la enfermedad de Parkinson y que tienen congelación de la marcha. Se realizó en una clínica de instituto superior, 2 veces por semana durante 5 semanas, con una duración de 30 minutos. Fueron evaluados antes y después del tratamiento mediante las escalas del Índice de Marcha Dinámica (DMI), la Escala de Marcha Congelada (FOG-Q) y la Escala Unificada de Calificación de la Enfermedad de Parkinson (UPDRS) para la estadificación de la enfermedad. Resultados: La intervención condujo a una ligera mejora en los instrumentos de evaluación utilizados, (p=0,684) en MDI, (p=0,776) en FOG-Q y (p=0,544) en UPDRS, destacando la mejora principalmente en la marcha bitarea. Conclusión: La intervención mostró beneficios en la congelación de la marcha, evidenciando la efectividad de este tratamiento debido a la evolución positiva de los instrumentos utilizados, sin embargo, no fue un estudio con un número elevado de sesiones y participantes, limitando los datos representados.
