摘要：

This study analyzed the effects of a VR-based exercise program based on gait speed in PD. older adults with PD, and to correlate the disease severity with gait speed in these individuals. The results showed there is a direct correlation between the severity of the disease and gait speed in older adults with PD submitted to the proposed exercise protocols. These protocols, with or without the use of VR, helped reduce the time of walking, increasing the speed and dynamic gait thus increasing the functional levels of such individuals.
