Abstract

Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive motor, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms. This study aimed to identify rehabilitation methods for motor and cognitive functions in HD patients in private and public rehabilitation centers. A literature review was conducted using databases such as SciELO, PubMed, Google Scholar, and PEDro. Studies published between 2019 and 2024 were included. The review highlighted the importance of early and comprehensive rehabilitation in managing HD symptoms. Physical therapy, including aerobic exercise, strength training, and balance exercises, was found to improve motor function, quality of life, and cognitive function in HD patients. Cognitive rehabilitation strategies, such as memory training and problem-solving techniques, were also beneficial. Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life of individuals with HD. A multidisciplinary approach, involving physical therapists, occupational therapists, speechlanguage pathologists, and neuropsychologists, is recommended to address the diverse needs of HD patients.
