summary

My aunt was a little abnormal a few years ago. She didn't recognize people. She began to think it was Alzheimer's disease. She went to the hospital for examination and found that she was Parkinson's disease. Her hands and feet, including her body, had slight tremors. Through treatment, now the condition has been improved to a certain extent. For Parkinson's patients, I'll tell you what kind of exercise to do.

What exercises do Parkinson's patients do

First: in the early stage of the disease, we should adhere to certain physical activities, take the initiative to carry out limb functional exercise, and do the maximum range of flexion, extension, rotation and other activities of the joints of the limbs, so as to prevent the occurrence of limb contracture and joint stiffness. In order to promote the blood circulation of the limbs, the patients in the late stage were given passive limb movement and massage of muscles and joints.

Second: pay attention to the room temperature, humidity, ventilation and lighting. According to the season, climate, weather and other conditions, increase or decrease clothes, determine the way and intensity of outdoor activities. The above measures can effectively prevent cold. Late bedridden patients should turn over on time, do a good job in skin care, to prevent the occurrence of urinary and fecal immersion and bedsore. It is significant to prevent and delay the complications of bone and joint by passively moving limbs and strengthening the massage of muscles and joints. Combined with oral care, turn over and knock on the back to prevent aspiration pneumonia and falling pneumonia.

Third: the psychological characteristics of patients with Parkinson's disease: Parkinson's disease is a process of slow progress. In the early stage of the disease, the patients have certain ability to work, can take care of themselves, and the tremor is not significant. The patients often don't mind and don't worry too much psychologically. With the progress of the disease, the ability to work gradually lost, the ability to take care of themselves decreased significantly, the patient gradually became depressed, anxiety, depression and other emotions, worried all day long, sighed, lost interest, lost confidence in work, study, family, future, often have the concept of self blame and inferiority complex, think that they lost the ability to work has become useless.

matters needing attention

With the aggravation of the disease, the patients become dull, apathetic, with a "mask face", a single tone, intermittent conversation, and decreased communication ability. Some patients will have fear or despair when they understand the final adverse outcome of the disease. At the later stage of the disease, the patients can't take care of themselves, which can lead to the psychology of pessimism.
