IntroductionThe use of telerehabilitation (TR) may increase in the next years due to the appreciation and acceptance of individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD). The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effects of physical therapy interventions administered remotely (TR) in individuals with PD.Methods and analysisThis is a systematic review protocol in which randomized and quasi-randomized clinical trials of studies involving adults (≥ 18 years old) diagnosed with PD undergoing TR will be included. It is expected to provide evidence of the effects of TR in individuals with PD in terms of motor function; gait; balance; quality of life; number of falls; adverse effects; individual adherence to TR and fear of falling. Data will be synthesized using the Review Manager software.Registration detailsThis systematic review protocol was registered on the Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/ZVPX5-https://osf.io/zvpx5).
