In the Federal Republic, more than 100,000 people, primarily older adults, suffer from Parkinson's syndrome. This book assigns a crucial role to physiotherapeutic treatment in the task of maintaining the mobility and independence of Parkinson's patients for as long as possible. Even in the early stages of Parkinson's syndrome, regular movement therapy can significantly help manage hypokinesia, rigidity, and tremor. In the later stages, the need for care can be delayed by promoting motor independence. The book provides information on the latest scientific findings regarding epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, as well as pharmacological therapy and deep brain stimulation. The practical section offers the practitioner detailed instructions for exercise treatment of the various symptoms, supported by numerous illustrations.
