by Diane Playford

Rehabilitation of Parkinson's disease patients comprises various forms of therapy: physical, speech and psychosocial therapy. Physical rehabilitation is used in conjunction with various antiparkinsonian agents as a non-pharmacological treatment for Parkinson's disease. This book examines what are the long-term and short-term benefits of physical therapy and the effectiveness of physical rehabiliation.
