Geriatric Rehabilitation

Geriatric rehabilitation plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life for older adults with various medical conditions, including Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that can lead to motor impairments, balance issues, and an increased risk of falls. Physiotherapy is an essential component of geriatric rehabilitation for Parkinson's disease, aimed at improving mobility, reducing fall risk, and enhancing overall functional capacity.

Here's how physiotherapy can be used to address these challenges:

• Gait Training
• Balance Training
• Strength Training
• Range of Motion Exercises
• Cueing Techniques
• Task-Specific Training
• Dual-Task Training
• Functional Training
• Fall Prevention Strategies
• Home Exercise Programs
• Assistive Devices
• Individualized Care

Overall, physiotherapy within geriatric rehabilitation for Parkinson's disease aims to improve mobility, balance, strength, and overall functional capacity, ultimately reducing the risk of falls and enhancing the patient's ability to perform daily activities independently and safely. It's important for patients to work closely with their healthcare team, including physiotherapists, to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that meets their specific needs and goals.
