| description | Objective: To implement a telerehabilitation prevention, treatment, and follow-up physical therapy protocol for monitoring individuals with Parkinson´s disease (PD) and to verify its effectiveness in minimizing the deleterious effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: Prospective case series, involving 40 participants with mild to moderate PD recruited from a specialized neurorehabilitation group. The study was divided into four parts: (1) Phone calls to assess the feasibility of participating in remote physical therapy. (2) Social media training. (3) Baseline and post-intervention assessment for functional lower extremity strength, fear of falling, quality of life, depression, anxiety, activities of daily living, verbal fluency. (4) Intervention protocol consisting of 20 remote weekly physical therapy sessions, graphic material for physical and cognitive training, social activities, and education. Conclusion: The telerehabilitation protocol was viable and effective for patients with PD as an alternative to in-person treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
