PD Statistics•Parkinson’s Disease is 2nd most common neurodegenerative disease, after Alzheimer‘s •Approximately 1 million Americans live with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) (2010, NPF.Org)
• It is estimated that the number of Parkinson’s disease cases will double by the year 2030
–Average onset is in 6th decade, mean is 55 years –10% below are below age of 40.3 (NPF, 2011) – 2% are >80 years old, 10% are in SNF’s

Pathphysiology of PD• Parkinson’s disease is a loss of dopaminergic
neurons in the substantia nigra •50 – 60% of cell death at diagnosis •70-80% loss of dopamine terminals •Proceeds diagnosis ~ 5-6 years
• Causes of PD remain unknown • Genetic mutations may contribute to one’s
susceptibility and most cases of PD are thought to be caused by an interplay of environment and genetics.

MULTIPLE SITES OF PD NEURODEGENERATION: ACCOUNT FOR MOTOR AND NONMOTOR SYMPTOMS
• Dopamine (DA) - Associated with motor symptoms bradykinesia/hypokinesias, tremor, rigidity
• Norepinephrine – May precede loss of DA: Associated with brain functions such as: sleep, memory, learning and mood
• Serotonin –May precede loss of DA: Associated with mood, anxiety, appetite, GI function and pain
• Acetylcholine – Associated with memory and learning

CLinical Diagnosis of PD
• Early Motor Symptoms (2/3) • Bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity
• Insidious onset: nonspecific non-motor and motor symptoms
• Asymmetrical distribution • Positive response to dopamine
replacement • Differential diagnosis

Standard “Early” PD Patient (Hoehn and Yahr staging 0-2.5)
•Motor: resting tremor and bradykinesia with mild cogwheel rigidity predominantly on one side, micrographia, hypophonia, hypomimia, no falls, mild motor complaints if at all

“Midstage” PD Patient (Hoehn and Yahr scale 3)
• MOTOR: bilateral cardinal features in PD, motor complications including wearing off and dyskinesias, some hunched posture and perhaps shuffling gait, more help with ADL’s (buttons, etc), increase in falls, loss of righting reflexes, narrow base of support
• NON-MOTOR: some cognitive decline (executive/ visuospatial), maybe bradyphrenia, sensory disturbance, orthostatic hypotension, maybe rare hallucinosis, mood disorders, drooling, mild chronic dehydration

It is a “Stunning Time” to be in rehabilitation today
• Basic science evidence for the value of exercise in PD (classically drugs and surgery)
• Identified key principles of exercise that drive activity-dependent neural plasticity
• Demonstrated that exercise can improve brain functioning (neural plasticity) and may slow disease progression
• Exercise is Medicine!

Exercise and Neural Plasticity in PD
In studies rats injected with 6-OHDA (dopamine depleting toxin) causing unilateral Parkinsonism
• Non affect UE was casted -> forced use of affected side • Early exercise no behavioral impairment and
attenuated dopamine loss • Affected UE cast -> inactivity
• Behavioral asymmetry and additional dopamine loss
• Inactivity = pro degeneration

PRINCIPLES OF NEUROPLASTICITY• Exercise as a physiological tool to promote brain change from the inside
• Intensity - important for maximal plasticity (frequency, effort, force/resistance and accuracy)
• Complexity- promote greater structural plasticity • Repetition – acquisition not sufficient, continued
performance of skill for long-term structural plasticity • Salience - practice rewarding tasks, activates basal
ganglia circuitry • Timing - slow progression to non-impaired side • Specificity - train deficits

What are the fundamentals of LSVT LOUD™?
Standardized, research-based, specific protocol TARGET: vocal loudness- amplitude MODE: Intensive and High Effort CALIBRATION: Generalization Train one variable to make changes across speech system. Focused on a single goal “speak LOUD!” – the treatment improves respiratory, laryngeal and articulatory function to maximize speech intelligibility

What are the LSVT LOUD exercises?Daily tasks First half of treatment session Rescale amplitude of motor output through CORE Loud
• Sustained “ah” (minimum15 reps) • High/Low “ah” (minimum15 reps) • Functional phrases (minimum 50 reps)
Hierarchical speech tasks Second half of session Train amplitude from CORE exercises into in context specific and variable speaking activities
• Week 1 – words, phrases • Week 2 – sentences • Week 3 – reading • Week 4 - conversation
MODE
Shorter, simple
Longer, more complex 20

CALIBRATION• Sensory problem - movements that are within normal
are perceived by individual with PD as too BIG • sensory-motor mismatch
• Internal cueing problem - decrease self -initiation due to under activation of Supplementary Motor Area
• "If I don't specifically think about it, I move too small" • Neuropsychological Sensory Re-Calibration
• slow thinking, slow learning • problems sustaining attention • problems shifting cognitive set • problems in procedural memory

FIG. 2. UPDRS motor score (blinded rating), mean change from baseline (vertical bars 5 standard deviations). Change between baseline and follow up at week 16 was superior in BIG (interrupted line) compared to WALK (dotted line) and HOME (solid line), P <0.001. ANCOVA did not disclose significant differences between in intermediate and final assessments. 42

LSVT BIG adheres to principle of neuroplasticity
Retrain normal use/forced use • Single focus to target impaired system
Intensive practice (dosage) • Total time practiced 16 - 1 hour individual sessions • Energy expenditure - high effort
Repetition • Daily task, over learned
Complexity/Challenging • Progressive hierarchies, carryover assignment/
homework, promote continuous use in everyday activities
Feedback/Motivation • Empower/Reinforce/ Instruct

Functional Components Movements
Purpose: • Over learn familiar commonly used and
salient everyday movements! • Reminds them of BIG movements at
home! • Encourages compliance and carryover!
Goal is to "hook" or "cue" patients into thinking about their BIG movements and BIG effort in daily living.

BIG Walking• Should feel awkward at first, if it doesn't, it
isn't BIG enough. • Normalize amplitude, stride length, posture
and arm swing overtime • Do not about which arm to start with,
doesn't matter! • Work towards normal reciprocal gait
pattern • Vary environment, time, distance • Combine BIG turns, obstacles, dual tasks

Hierarchy task- working towards complex LTGs
• Amplitude rescaling into everyday living! • Complex multi-step functional activities • Task Analysis
• Break it down into manageable sub-tasks • Remove complexity and environmental/
cognitive distractors • Identify the "problem" - where behavior
breaks down and why? • Gradually increase complexity

Carryover Task• Designed to convince patient
movements are WNL outside of therapy and positively impact daily function
• Address sensory problem • Specific task with specific feedback
• Functional/feasible/achievable • Accountability
