Navigating Parkinson’s Disease Obstacles

Clinicians are now charged with providing quick gains in an episode of care with complex patients, such as those with Parkinson’s disease. Funding cuts continue to require clinicians to provide shorter episodes of care, despite neurological disease progression. This one-hour podcast will provide physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, occupational therapists, and occupational therapy assistants with targeted evidence-based interventions for the Parkinson’s patient. These targeted interventions will allow for translation of skills to balance and ADLs while also demonstrating measurable gains. Practical and successful tips will also be provided to address typical complications in an episode of care with the Parkinson’s patient. Clinicians will leave the course with new interventions and strategies for use in their next session with the Parkinson’s patient.
