Objective: To assess the effect at 3 and 6 months of the upper limb orthosis, applied for 3 months in the functionality of the affected upper member, manual dexterity, performance of daily living activities and quality of life in Parkinson patients. Design and setting: A randomized controlled clinical trial of two parallel groups. Population: 40 patients with tremor and stiffness due to Parkinson´s disease will be included, selected by consecutive sampling at the Neurological Service and Stroke Unit of the Burgos University Hospital (Spain) . Measurements and intervention: Functionality of the affected upper member, manual dexterity, performance of daily living activities and health-related quality of life will be evaluated. All participants will continue to receive the medical treatment indicated to their health status. The intervention group will receive a treatment based on a dynamic orthosis during 3 months.
