Amplitude Training
IT’Smake overexaggerated physical movements, like high steps and arm swings. It’s a way to retrain the muscles and slow down the progression of hypokinesia, the increasingly smaller, more shuffling movements that happen with Parkinson’s.
Reciprocal Patterns
Reciprocal movements are side-to-side and left-to-right patterns, such as swinging your arms while taking steps as you walk. Parkinson’s disease may affect these patterns
Stretching and Flexibility
It’s common for patients with Parkinson’s disease to develop tight hip flexor, hamstring and calf muscles. To counteract that stiffness, it’s best to stretch at frequent intervals throughout the day
Strength Training
Depending on what stage of the disease you are in, a therapist might have you do resistance exercises with light dumbbells or a resistance band . Pool-based classes, using the water’s resistance to strengthen muscles, can also be a good fit, she says. .
How Physiotherapy Can Improve Parkinson's Disease Symptoms!
The role of a physiotherapist in dealing with and managing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease is to improve the overall functioning and quality of life of individuals with the disease. They use various interventions and techniques to reduce physical impairments and maximize functional mobility and quality of life. They work to address the specific needs of each individual and provide guidance and support throughout the treatment process.
Here are some specific ways a Physiotherapist can help:
- Assessing the individual’s needs
- Developing an exercise program
- Providing education regarding the illness
- Monitoring progress
- Collaborating with other healthcare professionals
Benefits of Physiotherapy in Parkinson's Disease!
Physiotherapy can be an effective way to improve the symptoms of this disease. Here are some ways in which physiotherapy can help:
ImprovedMobility. and balance
Parkinson’s disease can cause difficulties with mobility and balance, which can increase the risk of falls. A physiotherapist can develop an exercise program to help improve balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and increasing overall mobility.
Increased flexibility and ROM
Parkinson’s disease can cause muscle stiffness and rigidity, making moving difficult. Through physiotherapy and a well-designed program, overall flexibility and range of motion can be improved.
Improved Posture
This disease can cause changes in posture, such as a stooped or hunched-over posture. Physiotherapy can help improve posture through exercises that strengthen the core muscles and promote proper alignment.
Reduced Pain
Parkinson’s disease can cause pain due to rigidity or dystonia , which can be further aggravated through a lack of exercise. Physiotherapy can help reduce pain through an exercise program that allows the individual to keep body parts active that may otherwise lead to pain.
