Methodological guidelines for group therapy for Parkinson's patients

At present, neurodegenerative diseases affect a considerable number of people, in this case Parkinson's disease has more than 6000000 patients, both adults and young people, of both sexes. Some data from the World Health Organisation (WHO) predict that the number of people affected will double by the year 2030. With the following study we intend to do our bit to contribute to improving the quality of life of patients with this disease, and to put physical activity in the service of science. We also hope that this work will stimulate further research that could be derived from what has been done so far. The influence of the methodological guidelines in group therapy in patients with these characteristics, will help to a better self-validism of patients with Parkinson's disease. The study was carried out at the International Centre for Neurological Restoration (CIREN) in Havana, a world reference institution.
