Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to determine whether gait physiotherapy combined with motor imagery exercises has a superior effect than gait physiotherapy without motor imagery in people with Parkinson's disease. To do this, a six-week training program will be carried out twice a week, where walking exercises and motor imaging will be performed in the experimental group while walking exercises only, will be conducted in the control group. Motor imagery exercises consist of developing a mental exercise by which an individual rehearses or simulates a given action. We hypothesize that participants who perform motor imagery exercises have better results than participants who train without imagery exercises. To analyze the effect of the programs will be assess the gait, the functionality in activities of daily living, the motor capacity, and the perception of the quality of life of the participants.
