Advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multidimensional neurodegenerative condition with motor and non-motor symptoms contributing to increasing disability decreasing quality of life. As the progresses, patients may become homebound estranged from neurological care, dire consequences. We describe epidemiologic burden individual risks faced by palliative-stage PD their caregivers.
Background Multiple exercise modalities and mindfulness activities are beneficial in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Karate is a martial art that combines aerobic large-amplitude movements, balance core training, mindfulness, suggesting potential benefit for individuals with PD from multiple perspectives. Objective To evaluate the feasibility of community-based Shotokan karate classes involving physical activity among mild- to moderate-stage PD, explore effects on objective patient-reported...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has upended daily life and neurologic care for most patients, including those with Parkinson’s parkinsonism. Disruptions to routine care, high volumes of patient caregiver calls, our patients’ risk infection complications inspired a proactive COVID-19 outreach program. This program targets patients advanced related disorders, specifically who are homebound, receiving or eligible palliative and/or lacking support networks. We describe the...
The current understanding of advanced Parkinson disease (PD) and its treatment is largely based on data from outpatient visits. most disabled individuals with PD are disconnected both care research. A previous pilot study among older, multimorbid patients demonstrated the feasibility interdisciplinary home visits to reach target population, improve quality, potentially avoid institutionalization.The aim this protocol investigate whether can prevent a decline in quality life worsening...
Homebound individuals with advanced Parkinson disease (PD) require intensive caregiving, the majority of which is provided by informal, family caregivers. PD caregiver strain an independent risk factor for institutionalization. There are currently no effective interventions to support Studies in other neurologic disorders, however, have demonstrated potential peer mentoring improve outcomes. In context ongoing trial interdisciplinary home visits, we designed and piloted a nested informal...
