Effects of tDCS Combined With Therapeutic Exercises in Patients With Parkinson's Disease.

Transcranial direct current stimulation is a modulation technique of neuronal excitability which has very promising results in Parkinson's disease. In addition to the possibility of increasing the excitability of areas to tDCS, it can also facilitate the execution of the exercises by increasing the excitability of the primary motor cortex and changing the recruitment strategies of the motor units.

Therapeutic exercises will be based on the literature (O'Sullivan and Schmitz 2004, Klamroth et al 2016, Reynolds et al., 2016, Pérez et al 2016, Smania et al., 2010, Pastor et al., 1993, Traub et al., 1980, Schoneburg et al., 2013) Each session will be divided into warm-up exercises; balance and relaxation, with a duration of 50 minutes and a frequency of 3 times a week. Training progresses and intensifies every two weeks. The subjects will perform five repeated movements of each exercise, evolving according to the condition of each patient (according to the Hoehn and Yahr staging scale).
