Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Physical practice
Familiarization with gait cycle: Cards with pictures of an elderly person performing movements related to the adjustment of posture, gait initiation and gait phases were shown to the subjects. They should have organized them sequentially, showing that they learned gait phases. Physical practice: is the execution of the motor action. |
The control group underwent familiarization of gait phases using cards with gait phases and physical gait training. Familiarization with gait cycle: Cards with pictures of an elderly person performing movements related to the adjustment of posture, gait initiation and gait phases were shown to the subjects. They should have organized them sequentially, showing that they learned gait phases. Then, they were submitted to a physical gait training. They underwent a single training session during 1 hour and 30 minutes and were reassessed 10 minutes and 1 day after the end of the session, in respect of the kinematic gait and mobility. |
Experimental: Mental and physical practice
Familiarization with gait cycle: Cards with pictures of an elderly person performing movements related to the adjustment of posture, gait initiation and gait phases were shown to the subjects. They should have organized them sequentially, showing that they learned gait phases. Mental practice: is defined as motor imagery training with the aim of improving the engine performance. Is the imagination of a motor action without its physical implementation. Physical practice: is the execution of the motor action. |
The experimental group underwent familiarization of gait phases using cards with gait phases, mental practice of gait and physical gait training. Familiarization with gait cycle: Cards with pictures of an elderly person performing movements related to the adjustment of posture, gait initiation and gait phases were shown to the subjects. They should have organized them sequentially, showing that they learned gait phases. Then, they were submitted to a mental training of gait. They imagined the gait steps per 400 repetitions. While imagining, they verbalized the gait phases. Finally, they were submitted to a physical gait training. They executed 400 steps. They underwent a single training session during 1 hour and 30 minutes and were reassessed 10 minutes and 1 day after the end of the session, in respect of the kinematic gait and mobility. |

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change from Baseline in Double Limb Support Time at 10 minutes and 1 day
Time Frame: Three observetions were done. At baseline, 10 minutes and 1 day after intervention.
|
Double Limb Support Time is the period when both feet are on the ground at the same time.
The first period of double limb support begins at initial contact, and lasts, in healthy people, 10 to 12 percent of the cycle.
The second period of double limb support occurs in the final 10 to 12 percent of stance phase.
As the stance limb prepares to leave the ground, the opposite limb contacts the ground and accepts the body's weight.
The two periods of double limb support account for 20 to 24 percent of the gait cycle's total duration.
In people with Parkinson disease, this period lasts longer.

Three observetions were done. At baseline, 10 minutes and 1 day after intervention.
