How can people with Parkinson’s disease exercise effectively in their lives?

Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are very common in the elderly population, such as slow movements, hand tremors, and inflexibility. People are prone to these problems as they get older, so they are easily overlooked. Clinical findings show that about 80% to 90% of Parkinson’s patients do not care about these signals in the early stage of the disease, and only go to the hospital when it significantly affects their lives. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic disease with symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and the slow movements at the beginning may develop into stiffness and frozen gait later. What is a frozen gait in Parkinson’s disease? When patients want to take a step to walk, they find it very difficult to take the first step, and the foot plate seems to stick to the ground, or after the patient takes a step, during the walking process, the sudden and unpredictable gait aborts, and it is difficult to turn the corner, which often leads to the patient’s fall and injury, and the quality of life is greatly affected. So how can frozen gait be improved in Parkinson’s disease patients? Exercise at home to improve freezing gait, family members in an open space, for the patient to draw five or six conspicuous parallel lines, such as chalk, or with a colorful wide tape to the ground, one by one. Encourage the patient to lift his legs across, the family or the patient himself can also beat to the beat according to the pace, left, right, left …… and so on, adhere to the exercise will be effective. What should I do if I go out and have a frozen gait? If accompanied by a family member, the family member can hold out a foot to the patient in front of the foot that the patient is going to start, and encourage the patient to cross over, so that he or she can walk normally. If there is no family member accompanying the patient, and the patient goes out alone, if there is a cane, the cane can be used as a visual cue to step over, and if there is no cane, a newspaper or a rope can be used as a visual cue. Rehabilitation exercise for Parkinson’s disease patients have this important and can not be ignored, encourage patients to adhere to the appropriate exercise, but not only exercise, no treatment, because I have seen some patients, the condition is mild, refused to take medication, and only exercise, this is not work, exercise is an adjunct to treatment, do not put the cart before the horse. On the contrary, there are patients who are willing to accept formal treatment, but refused to exercise, that exercise is useless, in fact, not useless, but the need for proper guidance, and long-term adherence, it is possible to see the effect, and as a normal person need to adhere to the exercise, activities, the more exercise the younger, and can maintain a young mind, so, sick, more encouragement to urge themselves to overcome the difficulties, and adhere to the exercise. For patients who have had brain pacemaker surgery, symptom control is better, and more can not give up exercise, if there is no habit, then start to cultivate the habit of exercise, choose a favorite sport to do every day, appropriate exercise, not too much, as long as the long-term persistence, the state will be more and more good.
