summary

Parkinson's syndrome is a kind of old disease with high incidence rate in the society. With the increase of the age of the elderly, the decline of body function is very easy to be infringed by Parkinson syndrome. For Parkinson's patients, I will tell you how to exercise.

Exercise methods for Parkinson's patients

First: side bending movement: the feet are shoulder width apart, the knees are slightly bent, the right upper limb is straight upward, the palm is inward, and the trunk is bent to the left side, back and forth several times; then repeat on the left side.

Second: the patient should often straighten the metacarpophalangeal joint, flatten the palm, and grasp the fingers of the other hand with one hand to move and press toward the back of the hand to prevent metacarpophalangeal joint deformity. You can also put the palm of your hand on the table, try to make your fingers touch the table, and repeatedly practice the action of separating and merging your fingers. In order to prevent the deformity of finger joint, the movements of clenching fist and extending finger can be practiced repeatedly.

Third: during gait exercise, the patient's eyes should be directly in front of him and his body should be upright. When starting, the toe should be raised as much as possible. First, the foot should follow the ground and then the toe should touch the ground. The stride should be as slow and large as possible. The two upper limbs should swing back and forth as far as possible when walking. It's better to have other people present during exercise, and you can remind and correct abnormal posture at any time.

matters needing attention

With the aggravation of the disease, the patients become dull, apathetic, with a "mask face", a single tone, intermittent conversation, and decreased communication ability. Some patients will have fear or despair when they understand the final adverse outcome of the disease. At the later stage of the disease, the patients can't take care of themselves, which can lead to the psychology of pessimism.
