With an accurate and up-to-date approach, this book offers a comprehensive view of Parkinson's disease in the context of movement as a pillar of health. It compiles the current scientific knowledge supporting exercise therapy as a powerful tool to preventing and relieving symptoms, and to slowing the progression of Parkinson's disease. The work presents different therapeutic exercises, such as cueing, gait training, virtual reality, exergames, occupational therapy, electrostimulation, perturbed training, Qigong, and other methods. The pathophysiology, diagnosis, pharmacological interaction, motor and nonmotor symptoms, and the effects of exercise therapy are addressed in detail.
Readers will learn to identify protective factors, to take precautions, to manage associated risks, and to dose the exercise load for Parkinson's. The work collects years of research and top-quality scientific evidence and goes beyond by presenting an innovative training planning proposal, which allows readers to prescribe exercise in a logical and quantitative way for patients with Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Therapeutic exercise for Parkinson's Disease and Related Disorders is an essential work that provides new perspectives on how to prevent and reverse neurodegeneration. It is a must-read for healthcare professionals, students, and all those committed to improving the quality of life of people with Parkinson's disease.
