Doença de Parkinson, Realidade virtual, Marcha, Reabilitação, Mobilidade funcionalResumo
A Doença de Parkinson (DP) está associada a alterações da marcha, como redução da velocidade de caminhada, diminuição do comprimento do passo e aumento do risco de quedas. Nesse contexto, a realidade virtual (RV) tem sido utilizada como estratégia complementar de reabilitação. Objetivo: Analisar as evidências científicas sobre os efeitos da RV na reabilitação da marcha em indivíduos com DP. Métodos: Realizou-se uma revisão narrativa associada a uma análise bibliométrica descritiva, seguindo as recomendações da SANRA. As buscas foram conduzidas nas bases PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science e Google Acadêmico, resultando na inclusão de 15 estudos publicados entre 2010 e 2026. Resultados: Os estudos envolveram 306 participantes, predominantemente em estágios leves a moderados da doença. Os exergames foram a tecnologia mais utilizada (40,0%). A velocidade da marcha apresentou melhora em 86,7% dos estudos, seguida pelos parâmetros espaço-temporais da marcha (53,3%), capacidade de caminhada (26,7%), mobilidade funcional (26,7%), equilíbrio funcional (20,0%), risco de quedas (20,0%) e marcha em dupla tarefa (13,3%). Conclusão: A RV demonstra potencial para melhorar a marcha em indivíduos com DP, especialmente a velocidade da marcha e os parâmetros espaço-temporais, embora sejam necessários estudos com maior rigor metodológico.
