Título

The effects of high-speed resistance training in parkinson’s disease patients on mobility: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Resumo

Introduction: The loss of strength in PD patients has an impact on their quality of life. Common activities like getting up a chair, as well as all daily life activities become difficult. Moreover, muscle weakness, postural deficits and decreased mobility have been related to increased risk of falls in PD patients.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to compare the efficacy of high-speed resistance training (HSRT) versus control or another form of physical activity intervention to improve mobility in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients.
Data sources: We performed a systematic literature search through electronic databases including MEDLINE via PubMed, LILACS via BVS, Embase via Elsevier and PEDro databases up to September 2021.
Review methods: We included randomized clinical trials with patients with PD, HSRT as the intervention, compared to a control group or another type of physical activity. Standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated based on the inverse of variance method.
Results: The literature search identified a total of 7631 results, among which 4 studies were selected for the meta-analysis presenting moderate to high methodology quality. The meta-analysis showed a significant difference on mobility outcome in favor of HSRT compared to a control group (SMD = 0.42; 95%CI [0.00;0.83], p= 0.049).
Conclusion: HSRT may improve mobility in PD patients when compared to a control or minimal intervention group. HSRT seems to be a good approach for resistance training to enhance mobility in PD individuals.
