Introduction. Alterations related with trunk are important motor manifestations in Parkinson’s Disease (PD), causing functional defi cits. The virtual reality, with the use of Nintendo Wii® videogame is used to maximize the individuals function. Objective. Analyze the effects of Wiirehabilitation on mobility and range of movement (ROM) of trunk, balance and quality of life (QL) of individuals with PD, also their satisfaction with the treatment. Method. This is a quasi experimental study, where six individuals with PD were treated with 18 sessions with 30 minutes of duration each. The intervention was composed by training with boxing and tennis games (Wii Sports). It was assessed pre and post intervention: ROM and mobility (Trunk Mobility Scale) of trunk, balance (Berg Balance Scale) and QL (PDQ39). The satisfaction was assessed with a Likert scale (total score of 24 points). The intervention effects were assessed by Wilcoxon Test. Results. It was observed a statistical significant increase of ROM (p=0.02) and trunk mobility (p=0.03), balance (p=0.02) and QL (p=0.03). The mean score on satisfaction scale was 22.3 points. Conclusions. Wiirehabilitation can provide motor gains and related to QL in individuals with PD, and it was a satisfactory treatment by individuals.
