Introduction: The physiological deterioration associated with ageing exposes elderly persons to greater risks of falls, especially during the performance of simultaneous tasks during gait. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of dual tasks (DT) on spatiotemporal gait parameters and to identify the tools and tasks most commonly used to assess the performance of DT among the elderly. Method: Searches of the MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and SciELO databases were conducted. Observational studies, which evaluated gait changes during the performance of DT, published up to April 2014, were selected. Results: A total of 385 articles were found, of which 28 were selected. Decreases in speed and increases in stride variability, stride time, step width, and double support time were observed under DT conditions. Motion analysis systems, such as the GAITRite walkway® system were the mostly commonly used instruments for the analyses of kinematic parameters (16 studies). DT was most commonly assessed by arithmetic calculations in 20 studies, followed by verbal fluency, in nine studies. The gait parameters most commonly assessed were speed (19 studies), followed by stride variability (14 studies). Conclusion: The elderly showed changes in spatiotemporal gait parameters under DT conditions. Gait speed and stride variability were often assessed and, together, were considered good indicators of risks of falls.

RESUMO:Estudos evidenciam a música como uma intervenção terapêutica importante para indivíduos com doença de Parkinson. O fornecimento dos estímulos espaciais e temporais desta intervenção pode sinalizar as fases do ciclo da marcha proporcionando ao portador da doença um andar mais fluente. Além deste benefício, a terapia por meio da música possibilita ao indivíduo aumento de sua autoestima, maior conforto, relaxamento, bem-estar e proporciona maiores interações quando o tratamento é realizado em grupo. Neste estudo objetivou-se analisar o efeito que os gêneros musicais, valsa e samba, promovem na mobilidade funcional em indivíduos com doença de Parkinson. Os voluntários desta pesquisa realizaram o Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) nas situações: sem música, música clássica (valsa) e música popular brasileira (samba). Os dados obtidos foram ponderados por análise estatística descritiva e inferencial com teste Fridman e post-hoc de Wilcoxon pareado (nível de significância de 5%). Os achados evidenciam que o samba promoveu efeito adverso na marcha reduzindo a velocidade (p=0,04), número de passos (p=0,04) e cadência (p=0,04), aumentando o tempo (p=0,04) e comprimento de passos (p=0,05) quando comparado á condição sem música. Entendemos que os fatores intrínsecos da música como ritmo, harmonia, melodia e amplitude podem estar associados com o efeito adverso observado na mobilidade funcional de pacientes com doença de Parkinson. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Marcha; Música; Doença de Parkinson; Reabilitação; Ritmo. EFFECTS OF WALTZ AND SAMBA IN THE FUNCTIONAL MOBILITY OF PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON´S DISEASEABSTRACT: Several studies have shown that music is a good therapy for people with Parkinson´s disease. The intervention´s spatial and temporal stimuli may signalize gait cycle phases and provide the person with a more coordinated gait. Further, music therapy provides an increase in self-esteem, greater comfort, relax and wellbeing, with greater interactions when treatment is undertaken by groups of people. The effects of the musical genres, waltz and samba, on the functional mobility in people with Parkinson´s disease are investigated. Volunteers practiced Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) under the following conditions: without music, with classical music (waltz) and Brazilian popular music (samba). Data were weighed by descriptive and inferential statistical analyses by Fridman test and paired post-hoc Wilcoxon test at 5% significance level. In fact, samba provided a contrary effect in gait with a reduction of speed (p=0.04), number of steps (p=0.04) and cadence (p=0.04), with an increase in time (p=0.04) and step length (p=0.05) when compared to situations without music. Music´s intrinsic factor such as rhythm, harmony, melody and amplitude may be associated with an adverse effect observed in the functional mobility of people with Parkinson´s disease.
