Kelsie Chasan
Gianni Grasso
7-10 million diagnosed
60,000 diagnosed each year
Majority over 50 years old
Men more likely
Nervous system
Neurons in the brain
Spinal cord
Central nervous system
Substania Nigra
Where dopamine / acetylcholine are located
Neurons die off causes less dopamine made
Dopamine lost / damaged
Control movements in body
D2 receptor
Tremor
Bradykinesia
Small handwriting
Masked face
No arm swim during gait
Small strides
Muscle freezing
Rigidity
Severe Parkinson's
Progressive Stages
Slow movement
Decrease of speed
Muscles freeze over time
Stopping during ADL’s
Muscle weakness
Slow unconscious movements
Blinking, facial expressions
Poker Face
Can be impossible to swallow
To do daily activities
To prevent injuries
Examples
Falling
Walking
Running
Balance
P= F x V
Deep Brain Stimulation
Surgical procedure
Treats tremor and dystonia
Sends stimulation to brain
Blocks abnormal nerve cycles
L-Dopa
Levodopa
Pill that replaces lost dopamine
Loses effect over time
Carbidopa
Prevents enzymes from destroying L-Dopa
Exercise!
High Speed Exercise
5 min warm up/pre test
Wall Push-ups
20 min intermittent cycling
session
Step test
Modified squats
5 min cool down/post test
Calf raises
40 minutes 2 x week for 3 months
4 minutes
Gradual intensity
1 minute
Rest
Pretest/Posttest
Analyze movements
Heart rate/blood pressure
10 modified squats
Hold a bar and have chair underneath
10 calf raises
10 wall push-ups
30 sec. step-up
CYCLING
OTHER EXERCISES
Posture
Reciprocal movements
Promote neuroprotective
effects
Reinforce neuronal circuits
Reduce freezing of muscles
Help maintain muscle mass
Posture
Increase Power!
Preventing falling
Balance issues
Number 1 priority
Hand grip
To get accurate heart rate
Getting on / off bike
Bradykinesia can eventually make it impossible to swallow?
True / False

True / False
____ are more likely to have PD?
Men / Women
