How Does Rehabilitation Training For Parkinson's Disease Work? These Are Really Helpful For Diseases!

Primary Parkinson's disease, also known as tremor palsy, is a slowly progressive degenerative disease of the central nervous system common in middle-aged and elderly people. Sexual tremors and postural abnormalities, as well as non-motor symptoms such as constipation, sleep disturbance, smell disturbance, and muscle aches, also cause great trouble for patients. Regular and rational selection of drugs, trying to control or reduce symptoms and prevent secondary dysfunction is very important. However, rehabilitation therapy cannot be ignored, active motor function training, and efforts to improve movement, balance, and coordination are indispensable for Parkinson's patients. Actively carry out physical rehabilitation and speech training, and try to maintain or improve activities of daily living, which can significantly prolong life and improve quality of life.

A few simple and practical rehabilitation training methods are recommended as follows, which can be easily implemented by ordinary patients at home.

Gait exercise

Patients with Parkinson's disease generally have gait disturbances. During gait exercises, patients are required to look straight ahead with their eyes and stand upright. When starting, the toes should be raised as high as possible, the heels first and then the toes on the ground. The strides should be as slow and large as possible. It is best to have other people present when exercising, who can remind and correct abnormal postures at any time.

Turn left and right

Turn your head to the right and look back to the right for about a few seconds, then turn left in the same motion. Repeatedly slowly turn the face sideways to the left and right shoulders and try to touch the shoulders with the lower jaw. Side-to-side swing: Slowly lean your head sideways to the left and right shoulders, and try to touch the shoulders with your ears. Front and Back Movements: Hold the mandible forward for 5 seconds, then retract it for 5 seconds.

Balance exercise

Parkinson's patients show impaired postural reflexes, which can be improved by balance exercises. The feet are separated by 25-30 cm, and the center of gravity can be moved left and right, front and rear, and the balance can be maintained.

The trunk and pelvis are rotated left and right, and the upper limbs can swing with it, which has a good effect on balancing posture and relieving dystonia.

Physical exercise

Side bends and body rotations should be performed frequently. And pay attention to abdominal muscle exercise and low back muscle exercise. Do the following exercises regularly. Tilt your head back, look at the ceiling for about 5 seconds, and move up and down; then head down, and your lower jaw touches your chest as much as possible.

Despite the rapid development of modern medicine, existing medical technology cannot completely cure Parkinson's disease. The treatment of patients mainly starts by alleviating pain, delaying the development of the disease, and improving the quality of life of the patients. The biggest hazard of the disease is that the quality of life of the patient is seriously reduced, the life cannot be taken care of by oneself, and many complications often occur. Therefore, one of the key points of treatment is to use comprehensive rehabilitation therapy based on exercise therapy to improve the patient's function and quality of life. For some early Parkinson's patients with mild symptoms, they can actively participate in some physical exercises such as Tai Chi, Baduanjin, and square dancing, which are of great benefit to controlling disease progression and prolonging the honeymoon period of drug treatment.

Phenylethanoid glycoside extract in Cistanche can significantly improve the composition of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, MPTP)-induced PD model C57 mice behavioral characteristics, increase the substantia nigra tyrosine hydroxylase (tyrosine hydroxylase, TH) up to and DA content in the striatum of patients with Parkinson's disease. In addition, the cistanche phenyl ethanol glycoside extract has a good inhibitory effect on the decline of cerebellar granule cell viability in patients with Parkinson’s disease and prevents the MPP+ induced cell apoptosis of cerebellar granule neurons by inhibiting the activation of caspase-3 and caspase-8. Death, exert its anti-apoptotic effect.
