PARKINSON
Parkinson's disease is the most common disorder after Alzheimer's. It is a degenerative disorder of the nervous system, which is due to the reduction or lack of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is responsible for muscle function.
Motor symptoms presented by patients are "freezing", bradykinesia, tremors, stiffness, unsteadiness, pain (on movement and immobility) and reduced joint range of motion. At the same time, there are non-motor symptoms such as depression, sleep disorders, mental disorders, etc.
Parkinson's disease is associated with significant disability and poor quality of life. Patients can live quality lives with personalized physical therapy programs. Performing a specific exercise regimen helps increase dopamine levels, resulting in slow progression of the disease. It is important that the rehabilitation program, based on the international literature, is intensive, so as to benefit the patient. The structure of the plan includes strengthening, stretching, balance and movement retraining exercises where necessary.
Exercise helps improve attention, memory and thinking. Physical exercise can benefit areas of the brain associated with learning. Exercise is necessary, to have results, to be pre-planned, structured and repeated. The physical activity program helps you stay active and cope with your daily activities.
