Alternate Therapies - PD Flashcards
PD’s impact on motor fxn
potential for long term MS complications
focus on axial mobility
fxnal axial rotation
potential for long term MS complications
loss of spinal flexibility
changes in core strength
postural changes
asymmetry
reduced respiratory volume
reduced respiratory volume –> long term MS complications
contributes to change in activity and pain
what has been seen in early stages of PD –> focus on axial mobility
loss of spinal flexibility
in fxnal tasks
what are important to incorporate –> focus on axial mobility
relaxation strategies
how do we do postural training –> focus on axial mobility
through heightened awareness and visual feedback
what should we include –> focus on axial mobility
flexibility/stretching activities
core strengthening and pain management
what could we use fxnal axial rotation for
increase FAR
examples of exercises
tai chi
kayaking
agility course
boxing
lunges
pre-pilates
what should we have the pt do
use their BW
what can the pt using their BW reduce
akinesia
bradykinesia
rigidity
principles of PD intervention
intensity
difficulty
specificity
saliency
repetition
pole walking
use of bungys
treadmill training
intensity –> Principles
dosage
push beyond self selected energy expenditure
difficulty –> Principles
cognitive engagement
progressive challenge
constant high attentional focus
specificity –> Principles
focus on fxnal tasks used daily
saliency –> Principles
emotional engagement
empower/educate/ reward
pole walking –> Principles
aerobic and PD specific
whole body activation
forced arm swing
cues posture
use of bungys
big movements w/ no fear/anxiety
whole body activation
encourages repetition to retrain activation for whole body movements
