Q

Bradykinesia Test and why is Bradykinesia important

A

Bradykinesia refers to the slowness of movement and difficulty in initiating voluntary actions, a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. One way to test for bradykinesia is by assessing rapid alternating movements of the thumb and fingers:

Test Procedure: With the arm outstretched, the patient is asked to rapidly touch the thumb and fingers together. Both sides should be tested, as the condition can be asymmetrical in its early stages.
Signs: Over time, movements become slower and smaller, showing a decline in speed and amplitude.
Tips: Instruct the patient to make the movements BIG and FAST to observe changes in movement quality, which typically worsens with repetition.

Q

Rigidity Test, difference with Splasticity

A

Rigidity is an increase in muscle tone that is not velocity-dependent (unlike spasticity). It often responds to medication, especially in conditions like Parkinson’s disease. To enhance or assess it, clinicians can use activation techniques:

Wrist Circumduction: Rotate the wrist passively while tapping with the opposite hand.
Cogwheel Phenomenon: A jerky, ratchet-like movement felt during passive joint motion, indicative of rigidity.
These techniques help in diagnosing and evaluating rigidity, particularly in neurodegenerative disorders.

Q

Tremor Test and types

A

Tremors are involuntary rhythmic muscle contractions that can occur in various forms:

Resting Tremor: Appears when the limb is at rest, common in Parkinson’s. Ensure the patient isn’t suppressing it.

Postural Tremor: Seen when holding a position (e.g., arms outstretched). Less likely related to PD.

Action/Kinetic Tremor: Emerges during movement (e.g., finger-to-nose test). Movement worsens the tremor, and it’s often unrelated to PD.

Q

Gait and balance Test

A

Sit-to-Stand Test: With arms crossed, have the patient repeatedly sit and stand. This evaluates balance and leg strength.

“Walking” Gait Analysis: Check stride length, heel strike, arm swing, asymmetry, and whether the patient freezes at turns.

Pull Test: Gently pull the patient backward. If they need more than 1-2 steps to recover balance, it’s a positive test (impaired balance).

Q

Paper airplane analogy ( early detection of PD)

A

Detecting misfolded alpha-synuclein proteins in fluids like CSF or blood is crucial for early Parkinson’s disease detection. These proteins accumulate abnormally, forming Lewy bodies in neurons, which disrupt brain function before motor symptoms appear. Early detection allows for potential interventions to slow disease progression.

25
Q

Direct pathway steps

A

In the striatum, dopamine activates neurons that send inhibitory signals to the globus pallidus internus (GPi) and substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr).

GPi and SNr, in response, send inhibitory signals to the thalamus.

The thalamus, when disinhibited by reduced signals from GPi/SNr, sends excitatory signals to the motor cortex.

Excitatory signals from the thalamus to the motor cortex facilitate the initiation and execution of voluntary movements.

Q

Indirect path way steps

A

In the striatum, inhibitory signals are sent to the globus pallidus externus (GPe).

GPe then sends inhibitory signals to the subthalamic nucleus (STN).

The STN, in turn, sends excitatory signals to the globus pallidus internus (GPi) and substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr).

GPi/SNr send inhibitory signals to the thalamus.

Finally, the thalamus sends excitatory signals to the motor cortex, inhibiting movement. (Activation of inhibition)

  6. Support systems available

By considering these intersecting factors, we can develop more personalized and effective approaches to support people living with PD.

57
Q

Seven Tenents for life with PD: 1

A

There is no “one size fits all” description of PD

It is different for everyone else, monitor your own PD, educate yourself on the disease, and become the top expert on you

58
Q

Seven Tenents for life with PD: 2

A

Isolation can worsen symptoms.

You don’t have to manage this disease on your own. A team-based approach (including a movement disorder specialist and allied care professionals) can help you stay physically and emotionally strong. Keep open lines of communication with loved ones and consider joining a support group.

59
Q

Seven Tenents for life with PD: 3

A

Don’t settle.

Parkinson’s disease varies, and so do treatment options. Designing a regimen that feels comfortable and effective for you will take time and, likely, more than one try. Keep working with your doctor and care team until you get there. Make changes to address progression as needed.

60
Q

Seven Tenents for life with PD: 4

A

Hone your news instinct.

The latest research is the latest hope, but in our 24/7 media environment, there’s a learning curve to interpreting science news. Find experts you trust, seek out credible updates and commentary, and let go of the rest. Being news-savvy can help you maintain peace of mind.

61
Q

Seven Tenents for life with PD: 5

A

Parkinson’s is a non-linear disease.

You can have good days, weeks and months even during trying times. Exercising, eating well and staying involved with your social circle, community and activities you enjoy can have a major influence on your Parkinson’s path.

62
Q

Seven Tenents for life with PD: 6

A

Get engaged.

There are as many ways to contribute to better outcomes for yourself and others as there are people with Parkinson’s. Participating in research studies or advocacy, raising funds, starting a blog or support group - however you choose to get involved - can give you a sense of control and help bring us all closer to a world without Parkinson’s

63
Q

Seven Tenents for life with PD: 7

A

Be prepared.

Parkinson’s diagnosis or not, we all face certain issues in our later years. Make sure your family understands your wishes for end-of-life care, and put your will and estate in order. Having challenging conversations at the beginning of your journey with Parkinson’s can help lighten the burden as the disease advances.

Q

What are the key postural changes and balance considerations in Parkinson’s disease?

A

Kyphosis with a tendency toward flexion

Stoop posture, which may improve temporarily by pulling shoulders back

Hoehn & Yahr stage can indicate severity

If posture cannot be corrected, it may be time to consider using an assistive device to maintain mobility

101
Q

What are the key considerations for motor fluctuations in Parkinson’s disease?

A

Medication On
cycle

Freezing when walking

Difficulty stopping ambulation

Best time to work with patients is 60 minutes after taking medication; if prone to drug-induced dyskinesia, wait 2 hours

102
Q

What are the key aspects of autonomic impairment in Parkinson’s disease?

A

Impaired heart rate regulation and blood pressure control

Thermoregulation difficulties, especially poor sweat response in hot environments

Common in Hoehn & Yahr stages 3 and 4

Heart rate may not be reliable in stages 3 and 4; use RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) instead

103
Q

How can exercise affect medication management in Parkinson’s disease?

A

Exercise may alter the bioavailability of medications, potentially reducing the need for L-Dopa as dopamine production increases. It’s important to partner with a neurologist for adaptive medication changes and report any new exercise routines to the clinician.

104
Q

What is the role of genetic testing in Parkinson’s disease?

A

To inform family: Sometimes. This is one of those tricky ethical situations and different people and their families may want this information.

Research studies: there are a number of genetic trials that are mostly descriptive in nature.

105
Q

If you are working as an exercise professional with someone in their mid-40’s that is diagnosed with PD, which symptoms may require adaptations as the disease progresses.

Motor fluctuations refer to reduced motor complications in the ‘on’ state, followed by increased complications in the ‘off’ state. About 30% of people experience this 2-3 years after starting L-DOPA. Increasing the medication can lead to dyskinesias in the ‘on’ state.

Q

What was the study population in Schenkman et al. (2017)?

A

Participants had an average age of 40-80 years, were at Hoehn and Yahr stages 1-2, and had never taken L-DOPA medication. The results apply specifically to this population and not to all individuals living with Parkinson’s disease.
