Text of Note

Parkinson's disease, the most prevalent hypokinetic disorder, is expected to occur with increasing frequency among aging populations worldwide. Until there is a cure, combining physical interventions with traditional medical interventions can significantly improve overall quality of life for patients with the disease. This book comprehensively addresses the physical management of Parkinson's disease in a single volume, beginning with an explanation of medicinal, surgical, assisted, and self-management stategies used across various stages of the disease. After laying this groundwork, the text continues by focusing on two types of dyskinesias: dystonia and tremor. The discussion moves on the balance deficits (Hoehn and Yahr stage 3), transfer problems, and the neurologic and musculoskeletal impairments that contribute to them. The text concludes with a qualitative and quantitative assessment of gait and includes specific treatment guidelines addressing characteristic gait problems to improve ambulation abilities
