• Progressive, vigorous exercise has been shown to slow the decline in quality of life in people with Parkinson's.
• Through this lab-intensive recording, you will discover effective strategies to teach your patients that they can use in their day-to-day struggle with Parkinson's.Identify neuroanatomy structures affected by Parkinson’s disease and be able to explain common responses and changes to the structures with vigorous exerciseArticulate primary, secondary, and tertiary symptoms and complaints of Parkinson’s and parkinsonismDetermine when DBS should be introduced and articulate potential candidacy and efficacy of surgical treatmentIdentify scales and scores that quantify symptoms of Parkinson’s to show a baseline, as well as improvement with treatmentReview medication for Parkinson’s, as well as common adverse effects and pitfallsDevelop exercise programs for progressive, resistance training and increase intensity exercise for persons with Parkinson’s diseasePARKINSONS DISEASE OVERVIEW AND REVIEW OF ANATOMYPrevalenceIncidenceEconomic impactAnatomyThe subthalmaic nucleusCOMMON SYMPTOMSTypes of parkinsonismCommon motor symptomsSensory disordersLoss of functionDepression and apathySwallow dysfunctionHypophoniaEXERCISE BENEFITSTypes of exerciseNeuro plasticityEarly interventionActivity dependent improvementBaseline measurementsHeart rate/perceived exertionDEEP BRAIN STIMULATIONOverviewCandidacy RequirementsClinicians role in educationPatients expectations and limitationsIndications/ContraindicationsBASELINE AND OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS LABUPDRS Testing: The Gold StandardTinetti balance and gait assessmentHoehn and Yahr Staging SystemSchwab and England ADL scoreMontreal Cognitive Assessment TestNeurological ExaminationMEDICATIONSLevodopa drugsLevodopa AgonistsSupplementsAdverse effects vs.
