Description
Summary:Abstract Introduction: Home therapeutic exercises have been a target of interest in the treatment of the Parkinson's disease (PD). The way that the physical therapist guides and monitors these exercises can impact the success of therapy. Objective: To evaluate the effects of individualized orientation and monitoring by telephone in a self-supervised home therapeutic exercise program on signs and symptoms of PD and quality of life (QoL). Methods: Single-blind randomized clinical trials with 28 people with PD (Hoehn and Yahr 1 to 3). Patients were randomized into two groups: experimental and control. The experimental group had a meeting with individualized guidance about physiotherapy exercises present in a manual, received the manual to guide their activities at home and obtained subsequent weekly monitoring by telephone. The control group received the usual cares by the service. Both were orientated to carry out exercises three times a week during 12 weeks. Was evaluated: (1) activities of daily living (ADL) and motor examination sections of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and QoL by the Parkinson Disease Questionnaire 39 (PDQ-39). The analysis between groups was performed by the Mann-Whitney test and intragroup through the Wilcoxon (p < 0.05). Results: Significant improvement in ADL (p= 0.001) and motor examination (p= 0.0008) of the UPDRS, PDQ-39 total (p = 0.027) and dimensions mobility (p = 0.027), emotional well-being (p= 0.021) and bodily discomfort (p = 0.027) in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The individualized guidance and weekly monitoring by telephone in a self-supervised home therapeutic exercises program promoted positive effects on ADL, motor examination and QoL of people in early stages of PD. Resumo Introdução: Exercícios terapêuticos domiciliares vêm sendo alvo de interesse no tratamento da doença de Parkinson (DP). A forma como o fisioterapeuta orienta e monitora estes exercícios pode impactar no sucesso da terapêutica. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da orientação individualizada e do monitoramento por telefone em um programa de exercícios terapêuticos domiciliares autossupervisionados sobre os sinais e sintomas da DP e a qualidade de vida (QV). Métodos: Ensaio clínico randomizado simples-cego com 28 pessoas com DP (Hoehn e Yahr 1 a 3). Pacientes foram randomizados em dois grupos: experimental e controle. O grupo experimental teve um encontro com orientação individualizada sobre os exercícios de fisioterapia de um manual, recebeu o manual para orientar atividades em domicílio e obteve posterior monitoramento semanal por telefone. O grupo controle recebeu cuidados usuais do serviço. Ambos foram orientados a realizar exercícios três vezes por semana durante 12 semanas. Foram avaliadas: seções atividades da vida diária (AVD) e exame motor da Escala Unificada de Avaliação da Doença de Parkinson (UPDRS) e QV mediante Questionário de Doença de Parkinson 39 (PDQ-39). Foi realizada análise intergrupos (Mann-Whitney) e intragrupos (Wilcoxon) com p < 0.05. Resultados: Melhora significativa nas seções AVD (p = 0.001) e exame motor (p = 0.0008) da UPDRS, PDQ-39 total (p = 0.027) e dimensões mobilidade (p=0.027), bem-estar emocional (p = 0.021) e desconforto corporal (p=0.027) no grupo experimental quando comparado ao controle. Conclusão: A orientação individualizada e o monitoramento semanal por telefone em um programa de exercícios terapêuticos domiciliares autossupervisionados apresentaram efeitos positivos sobre AVD, exame motor e QV em estágios iniciais da DP.
