ABSTRACT

Introduction. Defectological therapy for patients with Parkinson's disease requires treatments that match scientific advances. The interactive virtual reality system. Model. BTS NIRVANA, combines motor and cognitive relearning. Methods. A descriptive study was carried out in 10 patients with Parkinson's disease, who presented as inclusion criteria: decrease in the ranges of joint amplitude and mobility, difficulties in coordination with the upper extremities and affection in the upper psychic processes and a time of evolution disease up to 10 years. All patients underwent the Conventional Defectology Program, for 8 weeks, one hour daily; including the interactive virtual reality system. BTS NIRVANA model for 30 minutes, three times a week. Goniometric tests were applied; The results at the beginning and at the end of the treatment were compared with the help of the Excel statistical package, determining the average of each variable. Results. The average age was 44.6 years, significant improvement was evident in the parameters studied. Conclusions. Significant improvement was obtained in the studied parameters. The interactive virtual reality system was verified. BTS NIRVANA model provides physiotherapists with a pre-defined set of exercises for upper and lower limbs and for trunk control in patients with Parkinson's disease.
