Physiotherapy Assessment and Management of Parkinson's disease (PD)

Synopsis

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative condition. Multiple systems including motor, autonomic, psychological and cognitive may be affected in people living with PD. Given the complex nature of PD, multi-disciplinary involvement is paramount. Freezing of gait and postural instability are common mobility problems in individuals with PD. These impairments remain difficult to treat and are debilitating when unresponsive to dopaminergic treatment. Rehabilitative interventions hence play a key role in managing these physical dysfunctions.

Registration fee to be confirmed.
