PD Interventions Outside the CPG Flashcards
what are the benefits of cycling in PD?
neuroplastic and neuroprotective effects
enables individuals with significant motor impairment and FOG to safely engage in CV training
improve motor fxn
reduce tremors, rigidity, and freezing
improve mental health and QoL
what motor fxns are enhanced by cycling?
balance, walking capacity, and walking speed
t/f: intensity levels and cadence in cycling didn’t significantly affect outcomes
true
t/f: there is a limited focus on FoG in cycling
true
are cycling benefits more pronounced when applied as a long term regimen or as a single session intervention?
when applied as a long term regimen
what is high cadence cycling?
cycling with the motor maintained at 75-85 rpm
t/f: high cadence cycling showed significant improvements in UPDRS motor 3 and TUG times in a study
true
how often is high cadence cycling done?
40 min sessions 3-5x/week
what are the aerobic recommendations for how often it should be done?
3x/wk for 30-40 minutes
what is the recommended HR range for aerobic exercise?
70-85% of HRmax
what is the recommended RPE for aerobic exercise?
5-8/10
t/f: use of RPE scale may be more helpful than HR in determining exercise intensity if HR response is blunted
true
is pedaling for parkinson’s better for long or short term care that is motivating and sustainable?
long term care
how long is a session in pedaling for parkinson’s
1 hour w/40 minutes of high cadence cycling with a warm up and cool down
what is PWR! (Parkinson’s wellness recovery)?
a community wellness program that started as a gym in AZ that now uses PTs/OTs coordinating with fitness professionals with whole body movts to improve PD specific changes in posture, weight shifting, trunk rotation, and transitional movts
who can be trained in PWR!?

what is the activate portion of PWR! targeting?
bradykinesia
what is the flow portion of PWR! targeting?
incoordination
what positions are included in PWR!?
low floor
high floor
sitting
standing
what fxns are targeted in PWR!?
bed mobility
getting off the floor
getting in/out of the car
posture/balance
is certification required for LSVT BIG and LOUD?
yes
is certification required to provide large amplitude, high velocity interventions in clinical practice to address the impairments of a person with PD?
nope
t/f: LSVT started as a speech program
true
t/f: LSVT BIG is based on the principle of LSVT LOUD
true
what are the principles of LSVT?
intense amplitude based program
