Current estimates indicate that 1.5 million Americans have Parkinson's disease (PD), and 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Having PD can interfere with the ability to do everyday activities and hobbies,and generally increases one's tendency to fall. Since there is currently no cure for the disease, treatment is aimed at managing symptoms, working to maintain independent function, and as much as possible reducing PD-related disability. The following article provides an overview of a program offered to those with PD that combines education in body mechanics, fall prevention,low impact aerobics, strength training, and Yoga postures,breathing, and meditation as a way to help manage symptoms and maintain independence.

Strength training is an effective modality to improve muscular strength and functional performance in people with Parkinson's disease (PWP). One-repetition maximum (1-RM) is the gold standard assessment of strength; however, PWP suffer from day-to-day variations in symptom severity and performance characteristics, potentially adversely affecting the reliability of 1-RM performance. Herein, we assessed the reliability of 1-RM in PWP. Forty-six participants completed two sessions of 1-RM testing of knee extension, knee flexion, chest press, and biceps curl at least 72 hours apart. Significantly differences between testing sessions were identified for knee extension (P< 0.001), knee flexion (P= 0.042), and biceps curl (P= 0.001); however, high reliability (ICC > 0.90) was also identified between sessions. Interestingly, almost third of subjects failed to perform better on the second testing session. These findings suggest that 1-RM testing can be safely performed in PWP and that disease-related daily variability may influence 1-RM performance.

TEIXEIRA, M.E. e PEREIRA, J.L. Importância da preparação física para o paciente com doença de Parkinson. Revista Científica JOPEF, Vol.28, n.1, pp.29-43, 2019. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease described by the first in 1897 as "tremor paralysis." Its symptoms are variable, the most characteristic being tremor of the hands and loss of balance and muscular strength. It usually affects men over the age of 60, but there are forms that can occur in younger individuals. The progression of symptoms causes the quality of life of the patient to deteriorate significantly, leading to the inability to perform daily activities. In addition to pharmacological treatment, physical exercise has been indicated as a way to attenuate and slow the progression of symptoms. The objective of this work is to carry out an integrative review of literature on the subject, in which articles published over the last 10 years have been analyzed, thus seeking to update the theme. In general, it was possible to perceive a positive effect of the practice of specific physical exercise programs in patients with PD, with improvement of the quality of life. In vitro studies also demonstrated the protective effect of physical exercise on the onset of the disease. Keywords: Parkinson's disease; Physical exercise; Neuroprotection; Quality of life.

This study explored the functional movement task of stepping up and over an obstacle in individuals with Parkinson’s disease to their aged-matched controls. Ten participants with Parkinson’s disease and 10 aged matched participants were assessed on the Step Up/Over task completed on a NeuroCom EquiTest long force-plate and analyzed using Group MANOVAs. The results indicate that individuals with Parkinson’s disease produce less lifting force and exhibited an increased time to complete the task of stepping up and over an object when compared with their aged matched peers. Considering the substantial risk of falls demonstrated in this population these preliminary finding demonstrate the need for interventions aimed at improving this component of function.
