Everyone benefits from regular exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle, but when a chronic health condition is diagnosed, exercise becomes that much more important. When that diagnosis is Parkinson\u2019s, exercise can help the individual to retain mobility, flexibility, coordination, independence and a higher quality of life.<\/p>\n

Targeted Exercise<\/h2>\n

According to a recent healthNEWS article, while it is important for individuals with Parkinson\u2019s to continue to exercise, the most beneficial type of exercise program is one that is targeted. Targeted exercise involves incorporating different movements in a program that challenges and retains various neural connectors in the brain. Since Parkinson\u2019s is a progressive disease that weakens and even kills neurons in the brain, some believe that challenging these neural connectors can slow the progress of the disease. Research surrounding this theory is positive, and a recent study showed that patients’ motor and non-motor scores vastly improved with targeted exercise after only three months. Research participants saw an improvement in balance, muscle strength, swallowing, speech, depression, levels of fatigue and apathy.<\/p>\n

The Challenges<\/h2>\n

While the findings surrounding targeted exercise are positive, individuals with Parkinson\u2019s continue to struggle with remaining consistent with the exercise and movements involved in such a program. Some are confused about what targeted exercise means, and others might lack the energy or motivation to continue with a program for any significant period of time. Still others fear falling or freezing up while participating in activities. In order for these individuals to remain consistent with their exercises and remain safe, support is important.<\/p>\n

Family Support<\/h2>\n

Family members are an important component in supporting a targeted exercise programs. Able bodied spouses or adult children can assist those with Parkinson\u2019s in their daily exercise programs and provide encouragement on more difficult days. Additionally, family members can foster a relationship with medical professionals including doctors, nurses and physical therapy professionals in order to understand the individual\u2019s condition, the benefits of targeted exercise and important safety precautions to consider.<\/p>\n

Professional Caregiver\u2019s Role<\/h2>\n

Distant caregivers or those who have family caregivers with time or physical constraints that prevent them from offering an appropriate level of support, professional in-home care providers are an excellent alternative or supplement. In-home aides, under the direction of professional physical therapists<\/a>, can assist individuals with specific exercises, encourage seniors to follow a schedule, provide stand-by assistance to ensure safety and provide feedback to medical professionals. In-home caregivers can also assist clients with transportation to medical appointments and remind them of in-home physical therapy appointments so that Parkinson’s care remains consistent. This is the best way to ensure appropriate monitoring of the condition, early detection of any setbacks and a higher quality of life.<\/p>\n
