​What is STROKE?

​STROKE causes damage to the part of your brain that controls movement , you may experience weakness or paralysis on one side of your body, and problems with movement and carrying out everyday activities.

HOW PHYSIO CAN HELP?

  • Physiotherapy can be an important part of your rehabilitation. If you have experienced a loss of movement as a result of stroke, the main focus of physiotherapy will be to help you learn to use your arms and legs again and regain as much strength and movement as possible.
  • Neurophysiotherapy is a specialism of physiotherapy.
  • A neurophysiotherapist is trained to understand the impact of changes caused by damage to the brain and nervous system as in stroke.

​What a PHYSIOTHERAPIST does?

  • Help to set up your plan of care to keep you as well as possible and avoid any complications that might slow down your recovery
  • Advise on how you should be positioned when lying or sitting, and how often you need to be moved
  • Decide when you should begin to get up out of bed and start walking and what equipment (if any) is needed to move or support you
  • Motivate you to be actively involved in your physiotherapy sessions to help you relearn normal patterns of movement
  • Offer therapy to strengthen your limbs and teach you how to move again as independently as possible
  • Work together with family or friends to support your recovery in a coordinated way
  • Advise you, your family and any carers how you can do as much as possible for yourself and move around as much as possible.

What is Parkinson’s

  • Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition characterised by motor and non-motor problems.
  • The three main motor (movement) symptoms are ;-
  1. bradykinesia (slowness)
  2. rigidity (stiffness)
  3. tremor.
  • People with Parkinson’s might present with falling, loss of confidence and independence and reduced quality of life.

HOW PHYSIO CAN HELP?

Physiotherapy assessment and management focuses on improving physical capacity and quality of movement in daily life though walking and transfer training, balance and falls education, and practice of manual activities such as :-
  • reaching
  • grasping

Other issues :-
  • pain, well-being
  • respiratory function and support networks may need attention
The two main areas of Parkinson’s-specific physiotherapy intervention relate to exercise and movement strategy training.

Earlier stages, physiotherapists emphasise on :
  • education
  • self-management
  • programmes that promote general fitness   

​ Physiotherapy-specific exercise can offset the effects of Parkinson’s to minimise deterioration in :-
  • Strength
  • Endurance
  • Flexibility and balance

Conclusion

​Physiotherapy is essential in the multidisciplinary management of people with Parkinson’s. 

Advice and education offered in the early stages maintains general fitness, minimises deterioration and promotes self management. 

In the later stages, physiotherapy can improve gait, balance, transfers, manual activities and reduce the falls risk.
