Condition
Parkinson’s Disease
Rehabilitation for Parkinson’s disease (PD) at HEJJE is designed to improve mobility, function, and quality of life for individuals affected by this progressive neurological condition. Here’s how we approach Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation:
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists focus on improving mobility, balance, posture, and gait in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Through targeted exercises, gait training, and balance activities, we help patients maintain or regain independence in activities of daily living and reduce the risk of falls.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists work with individuals to address difficulties in self-care tasks, such as dressing, grooming, and meal preparation. We provide strategies and adaptive techniques to optimize independence and safety in daily activities and promote participation in meaningful occupations.
Speech Therapy
Speech-language pathologists address speech and swallowing difficulties commonly associated with Parkinson’s disease. We offer therapy to improve speech articulation, voice projection, swallowing function, and communication effectiveness, enhancing overall quality of life.
Cognitive Rehabilitation
Our team provides cognitive rehabilitation interventions to address cognitive changes and executive dysfunction in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. We offer cognitive training, memory strategies, and problem- solving exercises to support cognitive function and everyday functioning.
Swallowing Therapy
For individuals with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), we offer swallowing therapy to improve swallowing function, prevent aspiration, and reduce the risk of complications such as pneumonia. We provide exercises, dietary modifications, and swallowing strategies tailored to each patient’s needs.
Assistive Technology
We explore the use of assistive devices and technology to enhance independence and safety in daily life activities. This may include mobility aids, adaptive equipment, voice amplifiers, and communication devices to support functional abilities and communication needs.
Psychosocial Support
We recognize the emotional impact of Parkinson’s disease and offer counseling, support groups, and coping strategies to address depression, anxiety, and adjustment difficulties. Our team provides emotional support, education, and resources to help individuals and their families cope with the challenges of living with Parkinson’s disease.
Education and Support
We provide education and support to individuals with Parkinson’s disease and their families, empowering them to actively manage symptoms, optimize medication management, and engage in self-care strategies. We offer resources, information, and referrals to community services and support networks to enhance overall well-being.
At HEJJE, we are committed to providing comprehensive, multidisciplinary Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation services that address the physical, cognitive, communication, and psychosocial needs of individuals living with this condition. Our team works collaboratively to optimize function, independence, and quality of life for patients and their families throughout the rehabilitation journey.
