Methods.This pilot study involved the observation of Parkinson’s disease patients who completed a 6 months physical training programme. Patients were evaluated using the motor part of the UPDRS (UPDRS III),the Parkinson’s Disease Quality of Life questionnaire, the Hoehn and Yahr scale, the Lindop Parkinson’s Assessment Scale, the Modified Bradykinesia Rating Scale, the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Parkinson’s Disease Fatigue Scale, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Parkinson’s Sleep Scaleat the beginning and at the end of the study. Results.Six Parkinson’s disease patients improved their quality of life and their motor score according to the results from their tests on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale. Conclusions. Based on thisclinical study, the idea of neurorehabilitation through physical exercises in the Parkinson’s diseaase patients’ routine can make a real impact on improving the their quality of life.
