Exercise suitable for Parkinson's patients?
The main clinical manifestations of Parkinson's disease are dyskinesia, slowness, jitter and feeling stiff limbs. Many patients have basically stayed at home since they were diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, because they are worried that their sense of balance is poor and their actions remain unchanged. Life is to exercise. Correct Parkinson's exercise will bring better rehabilitation to patients. Effective remission of the disease requires persistent exercise training, so what kind of exercise is reasonable for Parkinson's patients? The following is a detailed introduction of our experts. Parkinson's exercise requires the following exercises: 1. Functional training of daily life: encourage patients to put on and take off soft and loose clothes by themselves, so as to strengthen the cooperative training of upper limb activities and upper and lower limbs. For those who have difficulty getting up by themselves, you can raise the bedside and tie a rope at the end of the bed to facilitate the patient to get up. Avoid sitting on soft sofas and deeply sunken chairs, and try to sit on chairs with armrests on both sides, or raise the back of the chair to make it have a certain inclination, which is convenient for standing. 2. Bumping exercise: first, bulge your cheeks, and then try to inhale your cheeks. Show your teeth and whistle, show your teeth as much as possible, and then whistle. In front of the mirror, make your face smile, laugh, grin, pout, whistle, drum your cheeks and so on. 3. Facial action training: The special face shape of Parkinson's disease patients is "mask face", which is due to the stiff facial muscles, resulting in dull facial expression, so some facial action exercises need to be done. Frowning action: frown as much as possible, then raise your eyebrows and repeat several times. Exercise hard with your eyes open. 4. Head and neck movement: The neck of patients with Parkinson's disease tends to lean forward and is very stiff, which many people think is caused by cervical spondylosis. If you don't pay attention to the movement and rehabilitation of the neck, it is easy to aggravate the abnormal posture, which is manifested as an increasingly serious hunchback. Here is a set of neck rehabilitation methods. However, it should be noted that Parkinson's disease patients are mostly elderly people, often accompanied by different degrees of cervical spondylosis. So when doing the following exercises, you must step by step, gradually increase the range of movements, and move slowly and gently during the exercise.
