Abstract

A Late Quartet (2012) is a film of the dramatic genre directed by Yaron Zilberman. This film, starring Christopher Walken, provides an insight to the story of a string quartet, which after 25 years of success and world fame, goes through severe adversities when the creator of the quartet, Peter Mitchell, is suffering from the first symptoms of Parkinson´s Disease, a disease that threatens to end to his passion and his dreams as a performer. But what could have been offered for Peter's management from physical therapy specialty for rehabilitation? Could it provide a positive impact for this profession on his quality of life? Could it help mitigate the downhill slope of a great musician with Parkinson's disease from the peak of his career?The objective of this article is to describe the evidence-based alternatives that physical therapy and rehabilitation can offer to patients with Parkinson's disease.
