Abstract

Objective: To analyze scientific evidence on the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic interventions in fall prevention among people with Parkinson’s disease.
Method: An integrative literature review was conducted using the SciELO, LILACS, and Virtual Health Library databases, covering publications from 2010 to 2024. Randomized clinical trials and controlled studies addressing physiotherapeutic interventions focused on balance, gait, mobility, and fall risk were included. Results: Eleven studies were included in the final sample. The interventions demonstrated significant improvements in balance, gait, and functional performance, as well as a reduction in fall risk. Multimodal and personalized programs showed superior clinical outcomes. Conclusion: The evidence suggests that structured physiotherapy is effective in fall prevention; however, methodological limitations related to protocol heterogeneity and sample size remain.
