Rehabilitation therapy- Parkinson’s disease

Rehabilitation therapy enhances the lives of people with Parkinson’s disease. A program of physical therapy and occupational therapy can help people learn movement strategies:

How to roll over and get out of bed more easily
How to rise from a chair or get out of a car


Therapists sometimes suggest simple devices to assist with daily activities, such as:
Shower grab bars
Shower stools
Elevated toilet seats

Occupational therapists and physical therapists have experience finding ways to help people button shirts, cook and generally keep their lives going. They know about special kinds of utensils that help keep food on a spoon or a fork. Even people with serious tremor, slowness or rigidity can use these utensils to feed themselves without making a mess.
