seeking suggestions @ MT and Parkinson's Disease

[Guest guest]

I have a pt w/upper body tremors. He says that they are aggravated by temperature and emotional matters (which I'm addressing). He can hit a steady beat while holding a maraca and beating a tambourine w/tremors and gets fatigued after about 10-20 seconds. He cannot stop on command. He sits in a wheelchair.

Please share your ideas.Thanks.--

Hi,

I am Dance/Movement Therapist working in a nursing home at Brooklyn. I and

my coworker,a dance/movement therapist, just start to run a dance/movement

therapy group with Parkinson patients.

They have a typical symptom of tremors on their hands and also all sitting on

wheelchairs. For our experiences so far, to get more awareness of body sensation

is our priority. By following their body awareness, we tried to let them reach

out of their arms in sustain and slow, light effort. From there, we will keep

going to find out their potential. I do invite other professional provide more

idea and suggestion.

Thanks!

Hi,

Go to the site for the Mark company and check out their workshops on working with Parkinson's patients. They offer a two-day initial training..
