with neurological disorders, with a speciality in PD
◉Some principles of LSVT: Answer: a. intensity (high effort)
b. reps (high reps)
c. complexity
d. meaningful to pt
e. single focus on amplitude
◉Remedial approach : Answer: treatment consists of mechanisms
underlying brady and hypokinesia
◉What does BIG target? Answer: it targets brady and hypokinesia
specific to PD
, ◉Exercise based Answer: promotes neuroplasticity
inhibits neuronal death
stimulates neurogensis
everyday occupations become exercise
