Objectives:
• Describe PD symptoms as they limit function in specific tasks and cause disability
• Develop Intervention plans based on client’s goals and evidenced based desired treatment outcomes, using the PEO model
• Participate effectively as an interdisciplinary or inter-professional team member
• Describe the unique and complementary role of each discipline in your care team
• Identify strategies for building inter-professional networks and community partnerships

Cueing Strategies in PD
• Rescue Project
• Consortium of Universities in Europe collaborating in research about cueing in PD as a method to improve mobility
• Clinical trial confirmed use of cueing as effective treatment in home setting
• Cues: prompts that give information on how an action should be carried out
15-18 years after onset of PD:
Falls occur in 81% of patients (23% sustained fractures)Cognitive decline is present in 84%
48% fulfill criteria for dementiaHallucinations and depression in 50%
Choking in 50%Symptomatic postural hypotension in 35%
Urinary incontinence in 41%40% live in aged care facilities
-Hely, et al. Movement Disorders (2005)

Impact of Advanced Parkinson’s on Posture Education/Positioning
• Increased muscle rigidity and progressing balance changes result in:
� Loss of automatic position change or inability to independently change position
� Reduced activity levels
� Potential skin changes
Seating Systems

Toileting/Incontinence Adaptations
Balance Changes in Parkinson’s disease
One of the four primary symptoms of PD
Least responsive to dopaminergic replacement therapy
Rarely seen as first symptom; typically seen later
(Early balance changes may be “red flag” for Parkinson’s Plus).

Potential Contributing Factors Unrelated to Parkinson’s
Disease
• Structural foot deformities (hammertoes, bunions, etc)
• Sensory changes, i.e. peripheral neuropathy
• Proprioceptive changes
• Vestibular dysfunction
• Other medical conditions
Propulsion/Festination Compensation Strategies
• Self monitoring – complete stop if stride length shortens. Restart with longer step.
• Wheeled walker with resistance may be helpful
• Use of rhythm to maintain speed and pace may be helpful

U-Step Walker
• Consult with physical therapy
• May be more effective for for person with PSP to deter backwards or lateral falling.
Retropulsion Triggers
• Carrying things in both hands.
• Stepping backwards while turning.
• Pulling/dragging items backward while gardening, yard work, farm chores, vacuuming
• Sudden displacement backward (being jostled in a crowd, pets/children jumping up , etc.

Falls Prevention
• Home evaluation
• Rails (both sides)
• Barrier at top of steps
• Grab bars at doors
• Remove clutter
• Adequate lighting
• Mark corners, edges thresholds with contrasting colored tape
• Impulsivity may be risk factor

Retropulsion: Compensation Strategies
• Carry objects in bag with handles at your side rather than in front
• Use vertical grab bar near door
• Reduce tension on automatic closing doors
• Sit when dressing
• Re-arrange cupboards/shelves to place frequently used items within easy reach.
Retropulsion: Compensation Strategies
• Tai Chi stance
• Move forward in wide circle rather than backing up
• Marching to pivot
• Clock turn

Freezing compensation Strategies
• Remove floor clutter (plant stands, magazine racks, foot stools) and throw rugs
• Move furniture or arrange environment to widen walking paths
• Teach visualization techniques (stepping over or kicking through an imaginary object
• Estimate steps to a target and count aloud
Freezing compensation Strategies
• Look for frequent freeze locations in the home environment and provide visual cue (e.g. lines across path in doorway, “x” in front of chair or toilet)
• Divert attention from feet/legs; practice deep breathing, unrelated arm movements, or centering activity
• Educate family/staff re: triggers and cues

Postural Changes in Parkinson’s Disease
� Forward head
� Increased thoracic kyphosis
� Decreased lumbar lordosis
� Increased hip and knee flexion
� Forward trunk lean
� Narrow base of support
Changes in Postural Awareness
• Decreased self awareness of posture is evident in those with Parkinson’s
• Posture often appears to decline even further when engaged in activity or when fatigued

Posture Enhancement Exercises
• Stretching, including neck, trunk, pectorals, hip flexors, heel cords, and hamstrings.

Posture Enhancement/Exercises
• Activities emphasizing pelvic mobility/weight shift/LE weight bearing
• Spinal lengthening/supine chin tucks
• Therapy ball or Tai chi
• Increase self awareness through use of mirror, photos or video
