Introduction: Huntington’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder of autosomal dominant inheritance which presents progressive motor, cognitive and psychiatric symptoms. There is no cure, only symptomatic treatment. This review is fulfilled with the aim of stablishing if exercise therapy is effective in the treatment of this pathology, according to the results obtained in the Unified Huntington Disease Rating Scale. Methods: A bibliographic search was performed in six databases (PubMed, Cinahl, Sportdiscus, Cochrane, PEDro, and Web of Science) in January 2022, following the Preferred Reported Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. Results: Eight randomized clinical trials were analyzed, among which six studies were found with significant results, with favorable impact on the motor dimension of the UHDRS, in addition to other variables such as heart rate, which are also favored during the intervention; and two studies without positive results for the variable. Conclusions: Exercise therapy seems to be a safe tool in treatment of Huntington’s Disease, as it has been proved that cardiovascular exercise, combined or not with strength training, seems to achieve improvements in the Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale, therefore it has a positive impact on the physical and mental health of this type of patients, although intervention protocols need to be further unified, as well as keep on investigating.
Key Words: Exercise therapy; Huntingon’s Disease; Physical therapy; Rehabilitation; Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale.
