The main manifestation of Parkinson’s patients is movement disorders, slow movements, shaking and feeling a sense of stiffness in the limbs. Many patients, concerned about their poor balance and limited mobility, have basically stayed at home since their Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, moving as little as possible to reduce the risk of accidents such as falls. Some patients also hope to compensate for the decline in motor function caused by their condition through intensive exercise since their doctor has just diagnosed Parkinson’s disease. In fact, exercise can be very beneficial to the physical and mental health of Parkinson’s patients. Because Parkinson’s disease affects a person’s ability to move, regular exercise helps keep muscles strong and improves their flexibility. Exercise does not stop the progression of Parkinson’s disease, but it can improve balance, help people overcome their inability to walk, and improve swallowing and speech difficulties. Exercise can also prevent some of the long-term complications caused by Parkinson’s disease, such as joint stiffness. So, what should Parkinson’s patients be aware of when exercising? Let’s see what Professor Wang Xuelian has to say. 1, exercise after the drug takes effect: It is recommended that Parkinson’s disease patients exercise after the drug takes effect, because at this time, the patient’s limb symptoms are relieved, you can do appropriate exercise and adhere to it every day. 2, moderate intensity: often emphasize Parkinson’s disease patients to do “appropriate” exercise, including the exercise of moderate intensity, can not force themselves, have to break the limit, the same standard as normal people, exercise time should not be too long. 3, targeted exercise: Parkinson’s disease can involve the muscles of the whole body, the symptoms of the limbs can be greatly improved by reasonable medication and surgical treatment of brain pacemakers, but the symptoms of language disorders, swallowing difficulties and other symptoms do not improve much, so you need targeted exercise, before the emergence of language disorders, you can sing, recite, read aloud, read the newspaper and other prevention, after the emergence of the need to start practicing simple pronunciation After the emergence, you need to practice simple pronunciation, practice swallowing. 4, safety, avoid falls: Parkinson’s disease patients with poor balance, exercise, safety is very important, must avoid falls, some serious patients may need the assistance of family exercise. 5, the importance of persistence: exercise to improve, not a one-day or two-day thing, persistence to produce results. More exercise can also change the following phenomena: 1, increase the flexibility of the body and joints 2, strong muscles 3, maintain the correct posture to prevent deformities of the limbs and body 4, exercise cardiopulmonary function, increase lung capacity 5, burn calories to avoid overweight 6, help prevent constipation 7, maintain and increase the patient’s daily self-care ability.
