A single-blind, parallel-group, randomised trial will be conducted in Sao Paulo, Brazil. People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) will be recruited at "Brazil Parkinson Association" (BPA), a non-governmental association of PD care, and randomly allocated in two groups: the Movement Guidance Group (MVG) and NO-MVG Group. Both groups will perform XBOX Kinect training for balance and gait. However, the MVG will receive kinesthetic stimuli manually by the physiotherapist (PT) to improve the participant movements while the NO-MVG Group will not, the presence of the PT will be restrict to only guarantee the participant safety.
