Objective. This study aimed to examine the effects of biofeedback in stimulating of the shoulder’s movement in an elderly woman with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Method. It was held in the Paranaense Association of Persons with Parkinsonismo, with an individual female aged 65. It was implemented for a period of four (04) sessions, combined with traditional Occupational Therapy exercises, the method of biofeedback by the apparatus Biofeed®. Results. The results showed that despite the reduced number of sessions, occurred improvement in joint range of motion and control engine of patient. Conclusion. The apparatus Biofeed® highlighting the importance of application of biofeedback as a resource of physical rehabilitation in individuals with difficulties in conducting joint movements in particular the carriers of disease Parkinson’s.
