This is Clarry, Clarry has Parkinson’s disease. He has difficulty with his gait not being able to lift his feet. He also experiences dyskinesia and issues with motor and cognitive dual tasking. This is an exercise we do in the Parkinson’s group class. It focuses on balance, step height, motor and cognitive dual tasking and coordination. I saw a lecture by Bas Bloem that showed a professional basketball and it gave me lots of inspiration. The gentleman had a very typical PD gait with a shuffle and minimal arm swing. As soon as the man started dribbling the ball his fat improved significantly and he was able to bounce the ball continuously from left to right. #parkinsonsdisease Parkinson's Foundation Parkinson's Western Australia Parkinson's Association of Los Angeles Davis Phinney Foundation Parkinson's NSW The Michael J.

Danny Miller Great to learn about this therapy approach. How did you measure improvements? Omid YOUSEFI Thanks for the repost!
Amazing what people with Parkinson's can do when they have to concentrate on something.
Love your wonderful work
These are great! Would love to see more excercise videos for those with PD, especially for women. Thanks for sharing!
Bill McCleery Check this out!
Let us discuss more about this virtually all PD animal models fail to account for the specific vulnerability in humans with PD for (dopaminergic and noradrenergic) neurons which are uniquely coated with neuromelanin. That is probably why PD is uniquely a HUMAN disorder. Honestly, I ignore publications base.
Damn, I'm not sure I could do that.
