The UCAM delves into the rehabilitation of patients with Parkinson (18/03/2010)

The Doctor of Physical Education, Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of A Coruña, Miguel Fernandez del Olmo, gave the lecture 'rehabilitative strategies in patients with Parkinson's disease. "

The activity is framed in Lecture III ConcienCiaT organized for the third consecutive year the Research of San Antonio Catholic University (UCAM).

Stimuli expert and rehabilitation of persons with Parkinson, Miguel Fernandez, has focused, among other things, the results of different studies addressing the use of external sensory signals and the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in the improvement of gait in patients with Parkinson.

Dr. Miguel Hernandez has stated that "15 years our team of Learning and Control of Human Movement, we are developing rehabilitation strategies for the improvement of parkinsonian gait."

It has detailed "as the disease progresses increase the damage of the march, even to the loss of the ability to walk, the goal is to improve its ride and quality of life."

Regarding the results of various rehabilitation strategies in Parkinson's patients, he explained, inter alia, transcranial magnetic stimulation and auditory signals and proprioceptive calls (for example, tapes or moving walkways to activate the patient's gait).

Dr. Hernandez said "by transcranial magnetic stimulation, which is a relatively recent, it can stimulate the brain areas affected in a non-invasive, and non-painful electrical impulses needed."

On the other hand, has been influential particularly in improving the breadth of gait (stride) in the more impaired patients to perform rehabilitation on a treadmill, compared to patients in a more moderate stage of the disease, which demonstrates the effectiveness of proprioceptive signals. "

These signals, stressed "are central pattern generators; contain attentional mechanisms, produce a visual feedback and, in short, there is what is called proprioceptive sensory stimulation."
