Parkinsons Outcome Measures Case Study
Tracking # 20-1168676
Course overview
In the previous courses you learned more about Parkinsons assessment and treatment. In this case study Dr Bhanu Ramaswamy will share the assessment treatment planning and post-treatment results of an example patient. This case study considers the application of two specific measures used to assess and then reviews the outcome of treatment in a person with Parkinsons. A video allows you to compare your assessment and treatment ideas with notes made by Dr Ramaswamy. The Timed up and go test is validated for people with Parkinsons but the Forward and backward walk test is a suggested measure given its functional use in treatment decision-making. A third tool validated for use in Parkinsons is suggested for you to use with any patients you have with Parkinsons who are still ambulatory in the community.
