Summary

Considering that Parkinson's Disease (PD) can significantly compromise functional mobility and cardiovascular system in patients with PD, therapies aimed at improving these aspects, mainly by non-pharmacological and non-invasive methods, are paramount. This clinical trial will study the acute effects of plantar stimulation using a therapy called automated peripheral mechanical stimulation (AMPS) on cardiovascular and functional mobility in patients with PD. The hypothesis of this study is that one single session will be effective in improving, acutely, the cardiovascular system and functional capacity in patients with PD.
