Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that, depending on its progression, produces alterations in motor and cognitive functions and directly impacts people's independence and quality of life. There are different treatments that can vary depending on the symptoms on which it is intended to influence. Within the multiple non-pharmacological options Virtual Reality (VR) is currently projected as an effective strategy, which favors both motor and cognitive functions and generates benefits in the functionality and functioning of the person. Objective: To propose evidence-based recommendations from a systematic review using tools of the GRADE System, that allows Physiotherapists to support the use of Virtual Reality as a therapeutic clinical intervention in Colombia. Method: For the systematic review, studies were identified based on MeSH terminology. Relevant studies were identified from a detailed review of randomized clinical trials and articles of equal or higher level of evidence was carried out. Results: A total of 23 studies were included, which met the inclusion criteria related to the motor component. The researches consulted reported approaches to gait, balance and posture. The different studies combined virtual reality with conventional training, also generating improvement in motor function, and the quality of life of the person with Parkinson's disease. Conclusion: Using Virtual Reality optimizes recovery time, generating motivation and stimulating visual, auditory, tactile and motor learning, being a precise intervention that provides positive effects on the patient.
