With their vision restricted, sufferers of Parkinson’s disease (PD) make few anticipatory and/or compensatory adjustments in their posture and the evidence of these adjustments is even less when the disease progresses and body oscillations are considered. Objective: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effects of visual restriction on the anterior-posterior body oscillation angles in parkinsonian stance considering the early stages of this disease. Method: Ten elderly PD patients with Hoehn & Yahr (HY) stage 2 remained standing still for 30 seconds to measure the body oscillation angles with and without restricted vision. Results: Two-way ANOVA analyses with repeated measurements revealed the main effect of vision (F(1,7) = 8.931, p < 0.02). Conclusion: The angles of the anterior-posterior body oscillations without visibility were greater than with visibility. They did not differ in correlation with the HY stages and visibility conditions interfered with the postural control regardless of the PD evolution stage.
