About

Testing the effectiveness of an exercise protocol engines sensory performed through a virtual reality platform in individuals infected with HTLV-1

Full description

Crossover randomized clinical trial to be conducted with people having a previous diagnosis of HTLV-1, they can remain in standing position without assistance. They will be excluded from those presenting amputation of the lower limbs, pregnancy, psychiatric disorders, rheumatic or orthopedic diseases, other neurological disorders associated and those that are experiencing difficulty in understanding the assessment tools used. They will also be recruited to a comparative group, healthy individuals, matched for sex, age and education level. It will be performed three assessments, before randomization, after 10 weeks and after 20 weeks, which will be evaluated in balance, functional mobility, gait and posture. The participants infected with HTLV-1, will be divided into two groups by random distribution, a group will begin the treatment protocol with video game immediately after the first evaluation and the other after ten weeks, with the crossing of the groups . Concealment of allocation will be guaranteed to the examiners who will have no contact with the physiotherapist who will apply the exercise protocol and the team member responsible for drawing. Patients will also be instructed to maintain confidentiality of the entry in the exercise program to other patients and examiners.
