Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how adding weight (5% and 10% of body weight) during treadmill training affects mobility in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD).
- A total of 30 participants were randomly assigned to three groups: one with no extra weight, one with a 5% load, and one with a 10% load, undergoing training for four weeks.
- All groups showed significant improvements in motor function and stability, indicating treadmill training is beneficial for PD, but the added weight did not enhance results.

Background: Mental practice has shown benefits in the rehabilitation of neurological patients, however, there is no evidence of immediate effects on gait of individuals with Parkinson's disease.
Objective: Determine the effects of mental practice activity added to physical practice on the gait of individuals with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (IPD).
Methods: 20 patients classified with stage 2 and 3, according to the Hoehn and Yahr scale were randomized into 2 groups.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of 3% of body weight loads (0%, 5%, and 10%) on treadmill gait training in subjects with Parkinson disease.
Design: This study used a randomized controlled single-blind trial.
Results: Spatiotemporal variables demonstrated significant intragroup alterations in all three groups at pretraining and posttraining, with an increase in speed (m/sec; F = 4.
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of inclined treadmill training on the kinematic characteristics of gait in subjects with hemiparesis.
Design: A blind, randomized, controlled study was conducted with 28 subjects divided into two groups: the control group, submitted to partial body weight-support treadmill gait training with no inclination, and the experimental group, which underwent partial body weight-support treadmill training at 10% of inclination. All volunteers were assessed for functional independence, motor function, balance, and gait before and after the 12 training sessions.
