I’m supposed to be doing these exercises for my Parkinson’s disease twice a day. I’m having variable levels of success. As far as the “Big Walk” goes, I’m doing quite well… as long as that’s all I have to do. If I have to turn my head from side to side, I freeze on every step. Not so bad with the nodding my head when I walk, but I still freeze.
Then, I demonstrate the Romberg tests we do every day at PT. You will see various degrees of stability.
Enjoy the video!
Diagnosed with PD in 2000 at age 45. I had deep brain stimulation as part of an experimental clinical trial in 2007. I've written a book about the experience that you can find a link to at the top of the page. All author proceeds go to assist PD research efforts.
