Mondo Health Updated on 2024-02-01

Gait abnormality is a common symptom that patients with Parkinson's disease often hear, and their specific gait has a panicked forward gait, mainly the body rushes forward, because the patient's center of gravity is unstable, the body rushes forward, and the limbs are slower in the back, so there will be a panicked forward gait. Pull-back gait, mainly in the later stage, patients may have unexplained backward tilt and easy to fall during walking, that is, pull-back gait; and muscle rigidity and poor tone, but predominantly a panicked gait.

The center of gravity is unstable and the balance problem is corrected in this way.

Start with sitting and gradually transition to standing, unsupported training.

1. Stand with your feet 25-30 cm apart, move your center of gravity forward, backward, left and right, and maintain balance;

2. Forward and backward left and right stride movement; The body and pelvis rotate from side to side, and the arms swing with a large swing;

3. Movement transformation training includes turning over, getting in and out of bed, from sitting to standing, from bed to chair, etc.

When exercising, family members should pay attention to protection to avoid the patient from falling.

For patients with freezing.

Drawing parallel lines on the floor, only two lines are in front of the patient, the patient can easily walk, and the line is on one or both sides of the patient, the patient will have difficulty walking, indicating that visual cues are helpful in overcoming walking difficulties. Therefore, a line can be drawn on the floor in front of the patient at intervals (equivalent to the length of a step) so that the patient crosses a line with each step, and the patient's stride length will be significantly larger than if the line was not drawn.

Or stipulate that each step must cross several floor tiles, and silently count the passwords in your mind to match the swing of your arms.

There is a forward rush phenomenon so corrected.

Try to relax first, or simply stop, then walk in place a few times before crossing the imaginary line. Diverting attention can also have a relieving effect.

Timely brain pacemaker surgery** to provide conditions for ** abnormal gait to be treated.

For patients with Parkinson's disease in the middle and advanced stages, it is difficult to move and cannot take care of themselves, especially in the advanced stage, and they may need to stay in bed for a long time. This part of the patient can effectively improve motor symptoms, such as limb stiffness, tremor and other problems, through the brain pacemaker, and also improve the abnormal gait. After the operation, it is possible to return to normal life and a high amount of life by gathering ** training and correcting abnormal posture.
