The subjects were evaluated according to functional balance and QoL, respectively by the instruments: Functional Balance Scale Berg (EEFB), Time Up and Go test (TUG), and Parkinson���s Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39). To perform the statistical analysis used the GraphPad Prism 5. To perform the correlation analysis for the variables passed normality by the Shapiro-Wilk. Since the variables were non-parametric test was used Spearman. During the analysis the statistical signifi cance level was considered p ��� 0, 05. Results: We studied 25 individuals aged between 54 and 85 years (71.20 �� 8.50), time of diagnosis between one and 39 years (6.54 �� 7.71) disease. Moderate correlation was found between the EEFB with QoL (r =- 0.6), and TUG with QoL (r = 0.6836). Among the aspects of QoL balance showed a higher correlation with the domains ���mobility��� (TUG r = 0, 6768; EEFB r = -0.6155) and ���Activities of daily living��� (TUG r = 0, 7357, and EEFB r = -0.6521). Conclusion: Patients with Parkinson���s disease show defi cits in balance and QoL. The balance disorders have a high correlation among themselves and show how aspects of QoL.
