Resumo: Aims: whilst Nordic Walking (NW) practice is spreading worldwide, few studies have addressed the issue of intersubjectivity and the perception of PD individuals practicing NW and its possible impact on their daily life across different countries and cultures. This pilot study sought to explore the possible relationship between the habit of practicing NW and the perception of functionality and quality of life in the participants’ cultural context. Methods: the focus group (FG) technique was used, with 10 individuals participating in a NW program. Results: content analysis revealed five main discourse categories: a) “NW benefits for people with PD”; b) “incorporation of the NW poles in daily life”; c) “Belonging to a NW group as a treatment aid”; d) “how PD people feel about their condition”; and, finally, e) “the present and the future: expectations and issues”. Conclusion: in general, NW was found to generates positive content regarding coping with PD, beyond the biomechanical and quantitative functional effects previously studied. We suggest NW might be an important adjuvant resource for improving perceived functionality among people with PD.

Este estudo piloto buscou explorar a possível relação entre o hábito de praticar CN e a percepção de funcionalidade e de qualidade de vida no contexto cultural dos participantes.Métodos: foi utilizada a técnica de grupo focal, com 10 indivíduos participantes de um programa de CN.Resultados: a análise de conteúdo revelou cinco categorias discursivas principais: a) “Benefícios da CN para pessoas com doença de Parkinson”; b) “incorporação dos bastões de CN na vida diária”; c) “pertencer a um grupo de CN como recurso auxiliar de tratamento”; d) “como as pessoas com doença de Parkinson se sentem sobre sua condição”; e, por fim, e) “o presente e o futuro: expectativas e questões”.Conclusão: de maneira geral, a CN gerou conteúdo positivo sobre o enfrentamento da doença de Parkinson, além dos efeitos biomecânicos e funcionais quantitativos previamente estudados. Sugerimos que a CN possa ser um recurso adjuvante importante para melhorar a percepção de funcionalidade em pessoas com doença de Parkinson.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2022-07-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/3996910.15448/1980-6108.2022.1.39969Scientia Medica; Vol. 32 No. 1 (2022): Single Volume; e39969Scientia Medica; v. 32 n. 1 (2022): Volume Único; e399691980-61081806-556210.15448/1980-6108.2022.1reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
