How Should Family Members Care For Parkinson's Patients? 6 Points To Know!

What I want to share with you today is how family members should take care of patients with Parkinson's disease, because Parkinson's disease affects patients in many ways, not only physical movement disorders but also mental and language disorders. And most Parkinson's disease patients are older, and their memory will gradually decline. Taking various drugs will inevitably lead to confusion and unclear memory. Therefore, our family members need to worry more.

Due to muscle stiffness and movement disorders, Parkinson's disease patients bring a lot of inconvenience in daily life and need more care and care from their families. Pay more attention to the following:

1. Dressing for Parkinson's patients:

Wear loose-fitting clothes with loose-fitting cuffs. It is best to choose clothes with an open chest, as pullovers are more difficult to wear. Clothes should try to avoid small buttons and use zippers or Velcro instead.

Shoes, do not choose to tie shoelaces, it is best to use Velcro. When wearing shoes, you can use a long-handled shoe pump, or it will be more convenient to wear shoes on a low stool. Do not use shoes with rubber or raw rubber soles, which have poor grip and may tip the patient forward.

2. Meals for Parkinson's patients:

Families can prepare several feeding aids for Parkinson's patients:

The first piece. Use a spoon to choose something heavier, which can help reduce hand tremors.

Second, it is best to have a non-slip suction cup at the bottom of the rice bowl. To prevent the rice bowl from being pushed by the patient.

The third piece, the pad under the dish is also a non-slip pad to facilitate the patient to scoop meals.

Fourth, prepare a water glass with a lid and a straw, so that it is not easy to spill the water in the glass. With these tools. There are also some movements of the body. First, the patient should sit closer to the table; remember to eat with both elbows resting on the table for leverage.

3. How Parkinson's patients take a bath:

Cover the tub or shower deck with a non-slip layer, and place a low stool in the tub to allow the patient to sit in the shower. For some patients who have difficulty getting up, they can install a bar on the wall of the bathroom, or replace the stool with a chair with armrests. Use an electric razor to shave and brush your teeth using a paper or plastic cup.

4. Prevention of infection in Parkinson's patients:

Because people with this disease are prone to bronchitis or pneumonia, it is important to treat a cough or fever as soon as possible to avoid serious infection. In particular, bedridden patients need to be scrubbed, turned over, massaged, and frequently changed bedding every day to keep the patient's body and environment clean and hygienic.

5. Encourage Parkinson's patients to:

Parkinson's patients are often depressed and become more and more depressed after the disease, and family members should strengthen their encouragement to the patient and enhance the patient's confidence in overcoming the disease. Provide more companionship and care to patients, eliminate their negative emotions, and reduce their psychological pressure and burden.

6. Help Parkinson's patients exercise:

Adhering to proper exercise is beneficial to physical health. We understand that many Parkinson's patients are reluctant to take the initiative to exercise due to physical reasons, but we still hope that patients will not sit for a long time, lie down, and get up to exercise when they can get up. If possible, professional rehabilitation exercises, such as mask face, difficulty starting, language barriers, etc., can be improved through professional training.

For the treatment of Parkinson's disease, drugs are always irreplaceable. Many Parkinson's patients even need to take drugs for a long time. A reasonable and correct way plays a pivotal role in Parkinson's patients. As a traditional technique in traditional Chinese medicine, Cistanche extract has a good inhibitory effect on Parkinson's treatment, and in the process of taking medication, it can well avoid the side effects caused by western medicine!

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 phenylethanoid 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.
