Abstract

Objective: To identify and compare people with Parkinson Disease (PD) doing multidisciplinary activities with those who do not realize. Method: Participants were evaluated for the Hoehn and Yahr (HY) (1-4), age, daily dose of levodopa, what activities they participate in and quality of life (PDQ-39), UPDRS activities of daily living and motor (UPDRS). They compared participants and non-practicing multidisciplinary activities stratifying the levels of HY between those with balance deficit (levels 3 and 4 HY), and those who do not have balance problems (levels 1 and 2 HY). Results: Attended by 49 participants of both genders (21 women, 28 men), these 17 do not participate in other therapies and 32 perform at least one multidisciplinary activity. There were no differences between groups participants and non-participating multidisciplinary activities. However, when stratifying the levels of HY, we realized that there was a statistical difference at the highest level of HY, the daily dose prescribed levodopa, between participants and non-participating multidisciplinary activities (P=0.017). Conclusions: The finding points that for this group of people with PD, with greater severity of PD, those who practice multidisciplinary activities need a statistically lower dose of levodopa
