Rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common degenerative disease of the nervous system, whose incidence increases with age. Despite increasing progress in the treatment of PD, resulting from development of diagnostic methods and experimental research into the understanding of the essence of this disease, an increase in the severity of disability is still observed with the passing time. Physiotherapy is one of the non-pharmacological methods, which through its complexity, phases and regularity is aimed at preventing early physical disability as well as permanent disability. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of rehabilitation on the severity of the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, depending on the severity of the disease. The conclusion that may be drawn is that systematically conducted rehabilitation reduces the consequences of Parkinson's disease, allows for improvement in daily activities. The use of physical rehabilitation improves the quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease.
