Introduction

Parkinson’s is a complex disorder with a wide impact on quality of life. This often challenges the physiotherapist when designing an appropriate individualised management program. After learning about the assessment of Parkinson’s in the previous course you are now about to dive into an intervention framework that considers primary and secondary symptoms of Parkinson’s. Dr. Bhanu Ramaswamy, a physiotherapist consultant specializing in the treatment of older people with neurological conditions, will share with you the aims of physiotherapy when sharing the management of Parkinson’s, and practical intervention strategies to help individuals with the condition fulfil their maximum capabilities.
