A total of 68% of patients have been previously involved in an exercise program for Parkinson's disease (not focusing on postural correction). Almost half patients believe the program is not difficult or of a mild difficulty. A small percentage (4 out of 29 patients) are not able to complete the entire program. Most of the patients (24 out of 29) consider that they have obtained from the physical therapist the necessary information about the exercises. A total of 25 patients (86%) follow \begin{table}

Table 2: Results of the questionnaire assessment. the physical therapist's instructions during the physical exercise program. A total of 85% of patients are very satisfied with their physical therapist. They appreciate the respect, collaboration, openness, and availability of the physical therapist. All patients express the same opinion about the physical therapist's capacity of listening to them, of empathizing, and understanding their problems. All the patients consider that the physical exercise program brings benefits and is important for their functioning and health status. After performing a physical exercise program, patients describe an improved functionality and feeling more secure when performing the activities of daily living. They are more confident; however, the lack of activity in an organized framework could be a factor for discontinuing the exercises at home. In the current study, 45% of patients do not continue the recommended physical exercise program at home. Only 31% are persistent in performing the exercises at home; 24% occasionally (once per week) perform the recommended program.
