- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoMedidas fisioterapéuticas dirigidas a mejorar la calidad de vida en pacientes con Parkinson(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Andrade Castillo, Lisseth Paola; Torres Criollo, Larry Miguel; 0105673354Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that causes both motor and non-motor symptoms. This pathology affects the structures of the central nervous system due to a neuronal decrease in the substantia nigra, leading to the main clinical manifestations such as rigidity, resting tremor, and bradykinesia, which alter gait and balance. The quality of life in patients with Parkinson's is based on their perception and clinical presentation, which influences their social and emotional participation and mobility limitations. Given the high prevalence and incidence of Parkinson's disease, research is necessary to determine this condition's progression, define diagnostic methods and clinical characteristics, and identify treatments to improve quality of life. Objective: To determine through a systematic review the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methodology: This work is a systematic review with a qualitative and quantitative descriptive approach utilizing digital databases such as PubMed, SciELO, and Elsevier. Results: Sixteen studies that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed regarding the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's. Conclusions: An analysis based on the results was conducted to contribute to and serve as an approach to improving the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease. Keywords: Parkinson's disease, rating scales, quality of life
