What is parkinsonrsquos
disease
bull It is a chronic progressive
degenerative disorder of the
central nervous system
bull It has an insidious onset
Epidemiology
Affects 1 to 15 million people in the
United States alone1-3
Basal Ganglia
Functions of BG
Motor planning and programming internally generated movement
Input from cortex=gt thought=gt motor plan=gt select and inhibit specific strategies=gt regulate movement (tone force)
Caudate nucleus cognitive- awareness of body orientation in space (righting reflexes) behavior modification as per task requirement motivation
Pathways
Pathophysiology
Parkinsonsrsquo disease is idiopathic parkinsonism
bullSubstantia niagra pars compacta- degeneration of dopaminergic neurons
bullDopaminergic neurons- cell bodies in SNpc=gt axons in striatum
bullDopamine deficiency- underactive direct pathway=gt bradykinesia overactive indirect pathway=gt rigidity and tremors
bullSlow and progressive disease
bullNeuron degeneration progresses-Cytoplasmic inclusion (Lewy) bodies loss of striatal dopamine receptors=gt decrease in dopamine binding sites=gt loss of effectiveness of medication (L-dopa)
Signs amp Symptoms
Rigidity
bullCog-wheel vs lead pipe
bulllsquoheaviness and stiffness of limbsrsquo
bullResistance to all passive movement
bullProgression proximal=gt distal=gt whole body
Unilateral=gt bilateral
Stretch reflexes are normal
Resting tremors- Involuntary oscillation at 4-6 Hz
bullPill-rolling tremors of the hand
bullAggravating factors emotional stress fatigue
bullRelieving factors Relaxation
bullAbsent voluntary activity sleep
bullFluctuations in frequency and intensity
bullPostural tremor head amp trunk upright posture
Akinesia
Bradykinesia
Hypokinesia Reduced amplitude
Disturbances in attention and
depression=gt compound these signs
Influenced by degree of
rigidity fluctuations in drug action and
stage of disease
Postural deviations
Weakness trunk
extensor muscles gt
flexor muscles=gt
stooped posture
increased flexion of
neck trunk hips and
knees=gt changes the
center-of-alignment
positioning patient at
forward limits of stability
Gait Deviations
Generalized loss of extension at hip knee and ankle and decrease in trunk and pelvic motion
Decreased arm swing and stride length
Small and shuffling steps loss of normal heal toe progression
Abnormal stooped posture
Festinating gait (Progressive increase in speed with the shortening in stride)
Takes multiple short steps to catch his own COM
Complications
Freezing spells Reduced aerobic capacity Falls Osteoporosis Fractures sleep disorders Contractures amp deformities Adverse effects of medication Constipation Facial muscle rigidity leading to Masked
face
Postural instability
bullAbnormal and inflexible posture responses
bullIncreased body sway Narrow BOS or divided attention increase instability and may compromise balance
bullDynamic balance and perturbations may elicit an abnormal pattern of co-activation- due to
bullDifficulty in feed-forward anticipatory adjustments of postural muscles during voluntary movements-due to RIGIDITY REDUCED MUSCLE TORQUE PRODUCTION WEAKNESS and LOSS OF AVAILABLE ROM IN TRUNK AND OTHER MUSCLES
bullVisuospatial impairment and problem with sensorimotor adaptation Unable to perceive the upright positon due to visual proprioceptive and vestibular perception abnormalities
Visual defects blurred vision
photophobia conjugate gaze saccadic
eye movements
bullSpeech voice and swallowing
Mutism Dysphagia Sialorrhea etc
Respiratory dysfunction
Depression and social isolation
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
SYMPTOMATIC THERAPY Levodopa Carbidopa ndash
Sinemet decarboxylase inhibitor Adverse effects- orthostatic hypotension
arrhythmias constipation delusions hallucinations
Dopamine Agonist bromocriptine ropinirole
lsquowearing- lsquooffrsquo state or end-of-dose deteriorationrsquo
Later on-off phenomena- appearance and disappearance of signs and symptoms
ANTICHOLINERGICS
Ethopropazine benztropine trihexyphenidyl
+ l-dopa =gt reduce motor fluctuations
Adverse effects dizziness blurred vision dryness of mouth constipation urinary retention
ANTI-DEPRESSANTS TCA benzodiazepines
NEUROPROTECTIVE THERAPY
Slows progression
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO) improves intracerebral metabolism of dopamine
Surgical techniques
Pallidotomy
Stereotaxic thalamotomy
Deep brain stimulation of STnGPi-
superior to medication
Cortical stimulation
Gene therapy

No co- morbidities
High risk of falls
Progressive disease
Stage 3
Practice Pattern
5 C ndash impaired motor function and
sensory integrity associated with
progressive disorders of the CNS in
adulthood
Goals
Mr K will roll from supine to side-lying within 5 seconds by performing an effective segmental rolling independently by end of 2 weeks
Mr K will stand from a standard chair bed within 8 secs independently with hand support on a firm supporting surface without loosing balance by end of 2 weeks
Mr K will stand on a firm surface without loosing balance with eyes open
