Can Samba and Forró Brazilian rhythmic dance be more effective than walking in improving functional mobility and spatiotemporal gait parameters in patients with Parkinson’s disease?

Table 3 Outcomes and instruments

Outcomes	Instruments
FUNCTIONAL MOBILITY SSS and FS	Timed Up and Go(TUG) test
GAIT ANALYSIS Spatio-temporal gait parameters: SSS, FS, SF. StT, SwT, SL AND DSP	Gait Kinematic analysis using with a synchronized system composed of six infrared cameras (BTS SMART DX 7000 System) with resolution of 1 Megapixel, accuracy < 0.3 mm (calibration volume of 4 × 3 × 3 m), acquisition rate of 100 Hz, synchronized with one Digital videocamera (BTS eVIXTA) 1.9 Megapixel with acquisition rate up to 100 Hz [33]

Note: SSS Self-selected speed, FS Fast speed, SF step frequency, StT stance time, SwT swing time, SL step length and DSP double support phase
