Parkinson’s disease is associated with various behavioral dysfunctions that become more and more severe over time, which brings and inconvenience to the patient and the patient’s family, and seriously affects the quality of life of the patient in later years. Therefore, the treatment of Parkinson’s can not be delayed. Here, teach you several effective self-therapy: 1, head and neck exercise: Parkinson’s disease patients often have a forward leaning neck posture, very stiff, many people think it is caused by cervical spondylosis. If you do not pay attention to the exercise and rehabilitation of the neck, it is easy to aggravate the abnormal posture, which is manifested by an increasingly serious hunchback. The following is a set of methods for neck rehabilitation. However, it should be noted that since most patients with Parkinson’s disease are elderly people, most of them are accompanied by cervical spondylosis of varying degrees. Therefore, the following exercises must be performed in a gradual manner, gradually increasing the amplitude of movements and moving slowly and gently. Head backward, eyes on the ceiling for about 5 seconds, up and down movement: then head down, jaw touching the chest as much as possible. Left and right rotation: head and face turn to the right and look back to the right for about 5 seconds, then the same movement to the left. Repeatedly and slowly turn the face sideways to the left and right shoulders and try to touch the shoulders with the lower jaw. Swing from side to side: Slowly lean your head sideways toward the left and right shoulders and try to reach the shoulders with your ears. Forward and backward movement: Hold the jaw forward for 5 seconds, then inward for 5 seconds. Facial movement exercise: The special face of Parkinson’s disease patients is the “mask face”, which is due to the stiffness of facial muscles, resulting in a dull facial expression, so it is necessary to do some facial movement exercise. Frowning: Frown as much as you can, then forcefully extend your eyebrows, repeat several times. Open and close the eyes with force Cheek Exercise: Firstly, puff up the cheeks with force, and then try to inhale both cheeks. Show teeth and whistle action: try to show the teeth, followed by whistling action. To the mirror, let the face show a smile, smile, smile with teeth, pout, whistle, cheeks, etc. 3, abdominal muscle exercise: lying on the floor or bed, two knee joints are curved towards the chest for a few seconds. Then do this action on both sides at the same time. Lie flat on the floor or bed, hands holding both knees, slowly extend the head to the two knee joints. Exercise for the low back muscles: lie prone with your abdomen extended and your legs and pelvis pressed against the floor or bed, holding up with your arms for 10 seconds. Prone, arms and legs simultaneously raised off the ground for 10 seconds, and then relax. Repeat several times.5. Upper limbs and shoulders exercise: shrug both shoulders as far as possible toward the ears, then try to make both shoulders droop. Straighten your arms, raise them high above your head and hold them back for 10 seconds. Clasp your hands down behind your back and pull back for 5 seconds. Repeat several times. Arms above the head, elbows bent, with both hands to grab the opposite elbow, the body alternately bent to the sides. 4, balance exercise: Parkinson’s disease patients show postural reflex disorders, walking fast forward, encounter obstacles or when the patient suddenly stop walking easy to fall, through balance exercise can improve focus on symptoms. The feet are separated by 25-30 centimeters, shifting the center of gravity to the left and right, front and back, and maintaining balance. The trunk and pelvis rotate from side to side, and make the upper limbs swing with it, which has a good effect on balancing posture and relieving muscle tension. 5, gait exercise: most patients with Parkinson’s disease have gait disorders, the milder ones show dragging steps, walking can not lift the foot, while the upper limbs do not swing the arm, there is no synergistic action. Severe cases show small broken steps forward, turning and crossing the doorway difficulties. Gait exercise requires the patient to look straight ahead with both eyes, the body upright, the toes should be raised as high as possible when starting, first the feet follow the ground and then the toes land, the stride should be as slow and large as possible, the two upper limbs try to swing back and forth when walking. The key is to raise the foot and stride to large. It is best to have someone else present during the exercise to remind and correct abnormal posture at any time. Patients in the start and march, often appear “frozen phenomenon” appears, the foot can not step, as if glued to the ground. In this case, do not be anxious, you can use the following method: First, follow the foot to the ground and stand upright. After gaining balance, and then start walking, you must remember to walk first with the foot followed by the ground, toes dorsiflexion, and then the toes on the ground. In front of each step of the foot in the position of a 10-15 cm high obstacle, to do the foot across the obstacle walking exercise. But this method is more trouble, it is impossible to place a bunch of obstacles at home, so with the help of “L” type crutches is a good method.
